This is ridiculous that a union is opposed to casual attire (slack &

I didn't read in the initial article posted to this message thread,
that the union was opposed to casual attire. Where did you get that
idea. The way I read it, NATICA is opposed to FAA management's
arbitrary change in job requirements sans employee agreement. It
would seem, that the union is opposed to FAA management changing the
job requirements after the fact.

A good union would file suit to prevent FAA management from breach of
contract.

Now, if this is a prelude to ATC privatization requirements, that
would be another matter. I can see where the entity paying for a
service has a right to dictate the terms of the service they are
funding _before_ the agreement is signed.
