WEBVTT 00:00:00.428 --> 00:00:03.194 I appreciate you taking the time. Not a problem. 00:00:03.219 --> 00:00:07.030 I wanted to talk to you about this change in our uniform policy. 00:00:07.173 --> 00:00:10.479 To be honest, I'm really having a hard time with it. And so are some of the other guys. 00:00:10.504 --> 00:00:13.218 Well, I'm not sure what I can do. A policy's a policy. 00:00:13.243 --> 00:00:14.716 Well, I understand that. 00:00:15.748 --> 00:00:20.389 But I want to make sure you understand the facts about how it's affecting us in the field. 00:00:20.414 --> 00:00:25.158 My concern is that it has already starting to cause morale problems; and that's only going to get worse. 00:00:25.183 --> 00:00:31.237 Well, change is never easy. But, like I said, a policy is a policy. Not much I can do about it. 00:00:31.324 --> 00:00:36.555 Maybe you can and maybe you can't But it would help if you could answer a few of questions for me. 00:00:37.001 --> 00:00:38.919 Sure. What is it you want to know? 00:00:39.022 --> 00:00:44.676 Well, to begin with, is this uniform change because of some safety regulation? 00:00:44.830 --> 00:00:48.651 Or is just a company policy? Alright, that's helpful. 00:00:48.903 --> 00:00:51.461 Good. Another thing... 00:00:51.882 --> 00:00:56.194 The cloth and the design of the new uniforms... Were they the only options that were considered? 00:00:56.219 --> 00:00:58.118 No, we looked at a lot of options. 00:00:58.143 --> 00:01:01.050 Can you tell me what they were? Why you settled on this one? 00:01:01.080 --> 00:01:03.223 It's good to know why you made the change... 00:01:03.248 --> 00:01:06.689 Well, it wasn't just me. There were five of us on the committee. 00:01:06.714 --> 00:01:08.266 I imagine there were. 00:01:09.777 --> 00:01:15.911 What I meant was now I can go back to the guys and tell them it wasn't just an arbitrary decision and that will help. 00:01:16.118 --> 00:01:21.419 I'm glad to hear that. On the flip side, I do have concerns. 00:01:21.776 --> 00:01:25.760 Now these new uniforms, they're going to cause some heat related issues for us in the field. 00:01:25.972 --> 00:01:29.984 What if it's 98 degrees and somebody doesn't wear it? Well, that can't happen. 00:01:30.009 --> 00:01:34.605 I agree. Can we talk a little bit about how we can prevent that from happening? 00:01:34.734 --> 00:01:37.778 Alright. Thanks for talking it through with me. It helps. 00:01:37.803 --> 00:01:41.235 Sure. Is there anything else that's on your mind? 00:01:41.260 --> 00:01:43.477 No, I think that's it at this point. 00:01:43.803 --> 00:01:46.006 So, just to make sure we're on the same page, 00:01:46.117 --> 00:01:49.012 I'm going to tell the guys why we're going with the long sleeves... 00:01:49.037 --> 00:01:52.718 And you're going to take the issue upstairs to see what the options are for dealing with the heat... 00:01:52.743 --> 00:01:54.323 I don't know what they might be... 00:01:54.324 --> 00:02:00.303 Maybe starting earlier in the day when it won't be so hot. Or there might be some kind of 00:02:00.403 --> 00:02:05.268 portable fans or something we could use... but we'll talk about it and get back to you. 00:02:05.458 --> 00:02:07.212 When do you think that will be? 00:02:07.521 --> 00:02:09.862 Well, we have a standing meeting scheduled for Wednesday. 00:02:09.887 --> 00:02:13.275 If you haven't heard from me by Thursday morning. I'll call you. 00:02:14.368 --> 00:02:15.999 I'm sure you will. Thanks.
