Just got the new uniform pants in the mail. I was not about to pay for the "upgraded" pants and ordered the regular ones. I will be going to get my own this weekend so I actually look like a professional.
As a FYI the sample jackets that are floating around from base to base are half cheap and half of the upgraded material. Both suck and only one of them had a size tag on it. I need a 42L and tried on the one and only jacket with the size tag. It was a 44 and the sleeves stoped halfway between my elbow and wrist. I'm not about to pay the extra $200 for a jacket that might fit and is still made of crap material.

On your next FLL overnight, leave your crap uniform at at the CP's office, I've heard he's running his own personal sweat shop with sowing machines and all. (not that the planned this ahead buying this crap), btw it is payroll deductible in 4 easy payments., not before alpo takes its cut.

I think the great majority are getting match colors slacks of better quality. So essentially we pay again, new hire or not.

Does anyone know where to get preliminary info about the new health insurance if you didn't get to go to the meeting?

Excuse me? Your comm chair is your guy isn't he? Why would you be afraid of getting screamed at by your union guys?

You would have to know him and our union to understand. His reputation is to get worked up and yell before gathering all the info. So its ironic (and probably a little sad) that he is our new comm chair.
