How about let's wait for all the facts to come out and
not have those deaths be part of some anti-union/pro-union
fight.

Are you able to provide some examples of the "slander" you mention?

Well, let's start by assigning cutesy, disrespectiful names to the
company CEO on a blog site.

Is that slander? No, I suppose legally it is not. It IS
insubordination,

Insubordination is refusing to obey orders. No one ever said you can't
make fun of your CEO. Ours has really bad hair, and we all know it and
have made comments. It doesn't mean we deserve to be fired.

Without my union, I wouldn't have been there 1 year

You know, that's my problem with unions. They keep people employed who
shouldn't be employed. Now, I don't know you, don't know how you work,
but there's something wrong with that mentality. If it takes someone
else to keep you employed, you need to think long and hard about your
work ethic.

That's not the union way. No wonder they are drying up.

That is exactly why we need unions. Any boss gets his panties in a bunch,
he rides the employee until the employee tells him just what an ass he
really is, so the employee, who is only human, loses his job because of
some egomaniacal twit with a tie.

And what forces the employee to stay? You need only to look in a mirror to
see the twit.

Employers that make being a yes man a requirement for employment need to
be terminated.

Nobody said anything about a yes man. You present the typical twisted union
attitude.

In most corporations bad mouthing the corporation is grounds for
immediate termination as is insubordination. There is no such freedom as
you have described it.

If there is a corporate policy against such comments you could be
terminated. It also falls under harassment which is certainly a hot button
of recent years.

Mike, instead of cowering behind your union, you need to get out in
front of the curve, and really hang it out as the boss of your own
business. Maybe come up with a new way to make a better widget, and
set the world on fire. Really be a man, take some real risks, and face
the realities of the modern business world unprotected by union rules
that allow you to remain employed despite hating everything and
everyone around you.

Maybe it's time for you to see what it's like to trust your future and
your family's good fortune to employees that might care as little about
your company as you obviously do. It'll be an enlightening experience,
I assure you.

I think you've got the makings of a good entrepreneur. You've
certainly got the attitude.

I also like to wear the Irish National tartan to a local sports venue:

I'd pay good, solid, American money to see you wearing that.

In fact, you've got a free night at the hotel if you show up in our
lobby in full regalia...

I remember reading in one of the aviation magazines, can't remember
which, that pilots in several African and Middle Eastern countries were
still required to wear uniforms.

Probably because both of their pilots are in the military.

Don't have personal knowledge about private pilots, but I remember being
astonished to see the ski lift attendants wearing impeccable uniforms in
Austria a number of years ago. I think some sort of convention of dress adds
to respect (and yes, I have been following the thread and understand the
point that we rarely see controllers.)

Dress is often used to hide incompetence.
