Okay... with that in mind. I just recently spent a VERY LONG year in management in a Union shop. From the management perspective of it (never was on the union side), you are given on a regular basis what were called "Talking Points". We received these weekly. These were the hot topics that were coming up and what pre fabricated phrases/comments were were allowed to say and those we were not allowed to say. The purpose of the "scripting" was to mitigate as many grievances as possible. AND there was a crap ton of them! For everything! Sooo... it is quite possible that they are not saying what they would like to say, but what they have been coached to say based on numbers that some analyst was able to derive in some form or fashion that they would actually be able to provide to the Union upon request. I hope I didn't make this confusing as to what my point is. I am sure I did...can't think right now.
Also, I never said anything, BUT, someone indicated the "unfair" treatment, in this particular case it was dress code. They were very slightly out of dresscode that was not really noticeable. I can tell you I have had to send people home on several occasions for STUPID dress code violations, BECAUSE, if you send one person home for blatent violation of the dress code and one person comes in, let's say they have a very tiny hole in the cuff of their pant that is hardly noticeable... well, if you don't send them home, here come all the greivances from those that HAVE been sent home all up in arms that you didn't send home a "petty" violator. That's just my two cents... so remember, when you get "in trouble" for a violation that you think is stupid, management must be consistent or all hell will break loose.
Now, bitchy, I am not saying anything bad about you, so don't start your rants... I am just providing my experience and wouldn't take what you've been told to heart.
