Vance union, base official will meet

I keep hearing about this Drug thing that CSC keeps mentioning but they fail to say that the Union has never minded it as it stands now because That Drug Policy is inclusive of CSC Management and The Union Personal that are on an equal basis as far as no notice testing for both CSC Management and All Union Members. The new terminology was not equal it was Union Only and not mentioning holding the CSC Management to the same standards, which CSC Management should be held to with nothing to hide. CSC Management should be held to the same level of testing, as the Union Members. They Work on the Same AFB as the Union employs and should be held to the same standard. As far as I know there has been very few discoveries of drug use amongst Union Employs, it is usually explainable through medications people are on. I agree anyone discovered should have a chance to explain and if an explanation is not satisfactory immediate termination.

What I hope they realize is how bad this will hurt them in the future and by not looking at the big picture, will have a big impact on the base and city of Enid. The military isn't going to just sit back and allow civilian unions to basically shut down a base over petty crap like drug testing and giving advanced notice on PTO. Got news for you... thats everywhere! Most places drug test and all most all places require weeks or notice prior to PTO.

So it is ok for the civilians on the air base to be druggies but the airmen and airwomen must regularly submit to drug test? Fire all these crack heads and start over, without the union. Better yet, close the base.

I've seen both sides of the union world and right now I'm outside it by choice. The big selling point of being in the union was brotherhood and solidarity. But individual uniqueness was tossed out the window. I have a personally crafted contract that defines my goals, definitions, expectations, desires, needs, pay package, benefits, and education targets. I could not have that in a union as it just wouldn't work. But there was a time in my life when a cookie cutter job was fine. It also made things easier with the boss in that he didn't have to sit down individually with each employee once a year and work out the job contract or agreement. But I don't worry about that now as we are all on shaky ground in Oklahoma due to the prevailing labor laws. In ways, its good, but in ways its bad as a friend was let go two months ago and she was just told to leave the building with no reason or anything else. She won her first round with EEOC and unemployment as the employer offered no reason to them either. She's getting her weekly unemployment and is working toward an eventual case in court. I guess its good as an employer that you can tell someone to just hit the road. Then it makes me look at the people with the signs and say that at times a union puts and end to that stupid activity of the employer.
