Jay Honeck wrote: If an employer can't even set a dress code without inciting a union grievance, what does that say about the attitude of their employees? It doesn't say anything. Union membership is plummeting. We have only 3 out of 18 here. Mostly because of issues like this. We might have 1 left that belongs to the union next March, the only month you can quit the union, by the way. |

And if the terms of their employment are changed _after_ they are hired, they are free to resist a new policy imposed upon them without their prior agreement. What would be your feeling if the bank decided to double your fixed mortgage interest rate despite your not having had an opportunity to agree to their change? |

If I have a contract with the bank for a fixed rate for a number of years, I expect them to keep the interest rate the same through the period, since that's what the contract states, no? In the matter of what to wear to work, I think it's silly for the FAA to require the controllers to adhere to a certain dress code. I wonder if the real reason for the dress code change is to torque someone. In the matter of the union pushing their members to waste time and resources to make a point, I think that it is likely to contribute sourness to an already stressed relationship. So both sides may be playing by the rules, but I'm not sure either is contributing to improving the current status quo. -jav |

Changing the terms of a contract without the agreement of all parties constitutes a breach of contract, doesn't it? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Breach_of_contract Breach of contract is a legal concept in which a binding agreement or bargained-for exchange is not honored by one or more of the parties to the contract by non-performance or interference with the other party's performance. [...] In the matter of the union pushing their members to waste time and resources to make a point, I think that it is likely to contribute sourness to an already stressed relationship. I wasn't aware the union was doing that. Can you please quote a source that supports that allegation? |

This is ridiculous that a union is opposed to casual attire (slack &
collard shirts). I did not read suits. Sounds like NATCA needs to be Reaganed. Ron Lee |

In a previous article, none said:

It's ridiculous that an employer thinks they can arbitrarily change the terms of employment without consulting the employees. Sounds like NATCA needs to be Reaganed. It sounds like this country needs to remember that employees aren't slaves. -- Paul Tomblin http://xcski.com/blogs/pt/ Considering the number of wheels Microsoft has found reason to invent, one never ceases to be baffled by the minuscule number whose shape even vaguely resembles a circle. -- [unknown] |

The first thing to determine is whether or not unrestricted freedom of dress is a matter of contract under the present agreement. In the matter of the union pushing their members to waste time and resources to make a point, I wasn't aware the union was doing that. Demending the presence of a union rep at any conversation between employee and supervisor is clearly a waste of time and obstruction of the orderly flow of the work process. Anyone can see that. Unions, and particularly, it seems, ATC unions, have a history of accepting very bad advice at the worst possible time. Hence their "strong and growing" position in the American economy. |
