Start valuing yourself a little more and demand our Union not bow to whatever the company wants. It's a different market now.
No one said you shouldn't demand more. Just, you're clueless if you think management is willing to trade hats for rates. In fact, for most carriers, what color and composition of uniforms isn't even governed under the contract...To include Delta. Does your contract say, "no hats?". If it doesn't, it isn't even negotiable. They can mandate you wear one and you'll have no say in it.
