I know we need to make this place look as bad as we can to perspective applicants to enhance the position of the union, but lets try and keep it factual…...
Whether or not the company does, is irrelevant. The mere suggestion that our pay is tied to such a thing, is abhorrent. The next time your plumber hands you a bill, try telling him/her; “Ya, ya know am afraid we do things different here, I haven’t quite had the year I had hoped for”.
He probably has no idea what his or her potential roommate’s sexual orientation is. Nor should he. That’s the whole point. Were older/established adults with private lives. Shared accommodations at this point in life is inappropriate. Many of us were in the military in our 20s, and/ or teenagers in camp. We’ve been there, we’ve done that. Some people have families they need to have close to them, while were incessantly tdy’d, or who knows what they need. Throw in schedules that are absolutely un-commutable, and all you hear from the “Good Senator” is; “Sorry, deal with it”.
Now there may be some hyperbole here and there. But, for the most part the complaints are valid. If I were a potential new hire and I was doing my due diligence. I would think; “ Hmm, where there’s smoke…”
