Is this what you pay union dues for................to make sure that the 3, size-28 FA's can wear the same sleek, sexy Dress that everyone else is wearing ?
if there is actual contract language that states the dress is to be available in all sizes.
then..
yes!
(that is one reason "you pay union dues for" enforcing a contract)
I would hope that if I were "Represented" by a union, that the issues they tackle were a little more important !
they should be addressing everything when issues arises..
Somehow I doubt the dress would have the same appeal on the 3 size-28 FA's !
all I can say is the entire uniform, for the most part, looks great on everyone I have seen.
Like I said, it's just a union, raising it's ugly head , on a trivial issue , to say "Look at me"!
they more than likely would be focusing solely on the point..
all contractual language must be followed (to the letter) and therefore a grievance..
(technically they are doing what they are suppose to be doing)
...regardless if it is a big issue or considered, well trivial.
ok, here is where I see an issue.
they, the union, did not or were not part of the planning or creation of the uniform in question..
simply for the fact it is from another airline...they did not represent at the time it was designed!
so!
demanding changes, during a period of transition while not representing the combined group Flight Attendants.. is a little premature..however if it is not considered "premature"..then it can be questioned?
why has seniority integration been put on hold?
its almost considered picking and choosing what some feel need to be addressed while in my opinion every thing should.
especially since.. (dresses that does accommodate plus sizes are available... at this time).
