Union

[Riverkilt]

I hereby proclaim myself the founding member of The International Union of Kilted Professionals - an association of licensed, certified, and badged professionals proudly wearing kilts in the workplace.

The year is 2010, FIFTY years after professional women won the "right" to wear pants in the workplace. Its time for the nonsense to stop.

Corporations understand unions. A man shouldn't have to stand alone against a whimsical employer.

Nothing against blue collar kilting. My union membership was with the United Mine Workers as an underground miner.

I believe that professionals who are intelligent and skilled enough to earn a license, a certification, or a badge in their profession should have the freedom to choose how they wish to dress in the workplace.

Should they get hassled, like women were once hassled for wearing pants into the professional workplace, I believe they should have organized support. Perhaps even legal representation, and certainly a long list of case law to lay out before their employer.

A baby idea now.

Whoa!! A red flag right out of the chute! Just barely hit the post button.

No one caught, "I hereby proclaim myself"??

Guess I need to polish my tongue-in-cheek technique...where's Grant? Teach me oh master....

[Marshal Moroni]

Since we're proclaiming things, I hereby proclaim myself 1st Vice President of Certificated Teachers Division. I wear a kilt to my school every Friday.

OK, maybe, I don't want to be an officer, I already work too hard.
Wonder what the job requirements look like?

An interesting idea Ron.

Cheers,

Marshal Moroni

What a pity, although I was skilled and intelligent enough to earn a licence and certification as an electrician. I guess I will have to wait for the blue collar revolution

See I was going to ask to form a local, once that was approved then I figured I could proclaim myself the First Grand Provost General of North East Local #2.

Hmmm Unions???? You DO know I'm from Detroit, don't you?
I'll throw my (tartan) hat in for a run at Steward of the Former US Navy, Former Teamster and Current Health Professional in a Terminal Illness Specialty, For the Mid-Upper-Central Great Lakes Region (Southeastern District).

Licensed electricians are good too.

See...it "could" work...maybe...kinda...sorta...but for sure I don't wanna run it. Just want it to bail me out when necessary....

Um, you do know that, that little flag on the upper right (to flag a post) is always red right? They don't come in any other colour.

Apparently I once proclaimed my 'Queen of the Arctic'. There where 38 complaints that "they don't live in no feudal state" and only one asking if I'd validate parking. Protocal requires one whom is posting tounge in cheek to follow said post with a smiley. I, of course, refuse to do this because I believe Steve is paid a $.01 every time a smiley is used.

That being said Ron I believe you have hit on something. A grass roots organization to look up workplace kilts.

Oh, almost forgot...

Still a tad confused...last time I got a red flag I got a PM from a mod about it...this popped up nearly as soon as I posted it.

Okay..duh...everyone gets a red flag now...something changed eh? Used to be a warning or "bad boy" addition by mods I thought. Gotta pay more attention....

Never realized there was money to be made by using smilie thingies. Seldom bother, more to do with my age and not wanting to mess with them....

Maybe just need to have some buttons made up that say "International Union of Kilted Professionals" to pin on our flatcaps....

[Slag101]

The only limiting factor to me wearing a kilt to work is those damn OSHA regs.
