The point you still missed is that the union asks for a 30% raise, and the TA demands prepackaged picks, ZPTO and the 5th week of vacation back. A fluff demand whether or not you like it is always going to be there. Uniforms are another pawn piece. My engineer's uniform consists of black work jeans and polos of which I can choose the shirt colors. I chose dark colored shirts of which I can do in one load weekly instead of getting 5 short sleeves that need bleach separate from blue slacks like yours. One less load a week, 15 to 20 gallons per load, thats a lot of water not doing those shitty white shirts that aren't after your first BIE. I'd still give uniforms up to wear a nice flannel shirt during Winter and golf shirts for Summer if I could. I want to be comfortable. I seen those new shoes they are making you wear. I pay for my Redwings because my feet are important to me. The cheap off the truck free shoes I got for free last year went right into the dumpster after the first week of use. Anything you buy for work use is tax deductable. Its nice to have the choice instead of the leash. The point is keep em if you want em, but offer them back and keep the contract you signed. If they think you guys are happy they haven't taken back enough. |
