[QUOTE="soberups, post: 1110597, member: 14668"] 1. [I]Forcing[/I] the employee to participate in a public demsonstration in front of the work group is a very clear violation of Art 37 of the labor agreement. 2. Performing in public demonstrations is [I]not[/I] currently a condition of our employment. If the company wishes to change the conditions of our employment, it needs to do so through the collective bargaining agreement. This is no different from them proclaiming that we must be able to recite the DOK verbatim under threat of disciplinary action. They dont get to make up the rules as they go. 3. If the company's [I]true[/I] intention is indeed to "educate" the work group in injury prevention, then a [I]willing[/I] participant (i.e safety committee member or management person) would be a [I]far[/I] more effective demonstrator for this purpose than an[I] unwilling[/I] one. 4. My personal willingess to participate in such a demonstration would be directly proportional to the [I]company's[/I] willingess to process my Workmen's Comp claim in a fair and timely manner. 5. [I]Ask[/I] me to, and I might. [I]Tell[/I] me to, and I wont. [/QUOTE]
