[QUOTE="soberups, post: 1509749, member: 14668"] Actually, I would not have a problem with requiring trainees to stay at a hotel, but that isn't really the point. The [I]point[/I]....is that the company does [I]not[/I] have the right to unilaterally change the [I]terms and conditions of our employment[/I]. If the company wishes to change the terms and conditions of employment, it needs to [I]negotiate[/I] those changes with our union[I] first[/I]. Requiring trainees to stay at a hotel? Fine, just put it in the contract. This is the [I]same[/I] reason I have always been such a pain in the ass to management regarding having to memorize the DOK. By itself its really no big deal, but when the company started declaring that it was a "requirement" and threatening discipline to people who failed to correctly regurgitate the material verbatim, I dug in my heels. If they want to make DOK knowledge a condition of my employment they can negotiate with my union and I will abide by whatever is agreed upon. Otherwise, if we let the company change the rules as they go, job security as we know it is a thing of the past. [/QUOTE]
