Did anyone see that UA has new uniforms? I think it's sad that when we pull up to an airport and the skycaps have nicer, more colorful uniforms than US. I asked an AFA person one time why the union hasn't fought for new uniforms and their response was "what would you want to give up to get them". My response was "why give up anything?" Is it not our unions job to get us what we need w/out having to give anything up?

Most of the things we "get" are bargained for during contract negotiations. It's alot of give and take and while I'd like a splash of color on the tie or a nice silver stripe on the sleeve, I don't think we "need" new uniforms so bad that we should should bargain for them.
The company will usually instigate a uniform change, anyway, so I don't think it is really big part of contract negotiations.

eh... who really wants to have to buy new uniforms anyway... *yipes* I'm still paying off the $700 for my crap that they required us to buy the first time around.
