NATCA Going Down in Flames

I've been an FPL controller in an ARTCC and a tower/TRACON and have visited probably a dozen other ATC facilities and never seen a controller dressed like that. That doesn't change the fact that others have, right? |

It is also a "Uniform".. so lets require all ATC employees, NATCA or not, to
wear uniforms.. oh.. and they have to pay for them.. with no pay increase or allowances to cover it. And they better be starched with crisp creases. BT "Steven P. McNicoll" wrote in message nk.net... "BTIZ" wrote in message news:Ht2Lg.2558$8J2.2200@fed1read11... If you are going to get paid for being a professional, you should dress like a professional. When I worked ATC, it was not the white shirt and narrow tie, but dress slacks "Dockers" and sport shirts or collared golf shirts with pocket were expected with decent shoes. You never knew when there would be a tour coming through, Boy Scouts, Rotary Club, Local Pilots on a "Raincheck" program, or maybe even the US Senator or House Rep. Perception is the whole thing, look like a bum and people will think you work like a bum. UPS delivery drivers wear shorts. They look professional. |

"Emily" wrote in message . .. But why is the union making such a big deal about it? To tell employees that a supervisor making a comment about dress constitutes a "meeting", well...that's why I'm glad we don't have unions at my particular part of the company. I don't think they're making a bid deal about the dress code, they,re making a big deal about the imposed "contract". The dress code is just one part of it. |

To make it difficult for the management, in the hopes that they will rethink their position (or at least be punished for holding it). Jose -- The monkey turns the crank and thinks he's making the music. for Email, make the obvious change in the address. |

I guess I've never figured out why, if an employee doesn't like the rules he is subjected to, he just doesn't find something else to do. A union certainly isn't the solution. |

Why? What positive effect can there be in that? Air safety of course. Would you trust a vector given to you by somebody who doesn't even starch their pants? g Jose -- The monkey turns the crank and thinks he's making the music. for Email, make the obvious change in the address. |
