Just found it kind of interesting ping...
Steelworkers cannot skip work for a Superbowl Party.
But the P-resident can.
In other words, the steel industry takes its work more seriously than the current President of the US takes his.
In the main, I’m with the employer.
BUT...set up plenty of video monitors and/or BLASTING radio reports of
the Super Bowl game for general morale.
I’ve never worked in a steel plant, but it looks like a VERY challenging
environment. But a positive outcome from the morally-questioned
quarterback for the Steelers might just be the thing for work-place morale.
Just my naive/inexpert opinion (IMHO)
(I recall my father’s work in an oil refinery about 50 years ago
and how nasty the work could be.)
Good!
Uh oh. Someone used the term “Super Bowl” without getting permission from the NFL. I smell a lawsuit! /s
If the Steelers weren’t securing a slot in the Super Bowl every other month, it probably wouldn’t be an issue.
I have heard nothing about cheese workers in Green Bay getting warned not to miss work.
When was the last time GB went to the SB? Late 80s or early 90s?
See, they don’t have that same issue!
I guess the unions can use any term they want...
They should put a large screen available to watch on breaks or perhaps have a nice dinner for them. It would do a lot for morale and even will make these folks work harder knowing that the company cares for them.
Simple solution. Smash your hand with a hammer, go to the emergency room early in the morning. Wait 8 hours to be seen, get a Dr’s statement, get your beer and pizza and enjoy the game.
Those here in Denver, working in the wild bucking horses industry, have no such problems and will be hard at work...for years to come.
Sure they’ll be punished..........not.
What is this, a joke? It must be.
This is a nationwide problem. I am not sure I will be able to catch a MARC commuter train into Washington tomorrow. I’ve ridden the line for over three years and EVERY Monday after the Super Bowl, trains are canceled or run with fewer cars, making the commute very difficult. This also happens after the NCAA final.
The Super Bowl should never be used as an excuse to get too drunk to work.
Good luck with that!!!!! I was a flight attendant with USAirways years ago and on Super Bowl Sunday in Pittsburgh when the Steelheads were playing, forget about getting a gate or service or anything from doze guys during the game, in other words, you were stuck on the plane or at the gate for hours with no explanation.
Serious problems with that company. Heard of a PIT or PHL based group of employees years ago with USAir that had a hotel room reserved. Every day, one guy could go and sleep his entire shift. They rotated so one guy didn’t work each day but got paid. Another group we heard of made breakfast each day so one guy was tied up cooking while the others tried to cover his shift. Then they took the time away from their jobs to eat while their food was still warm.
Hubby was a pilot with Piedmont Airlines and I was a flight attendant with them. Getting bought by them was a nightmare and we couldn’t leave soon enough. And if any of you has the misfortune to be waiting in PIT or PHL with a ticket on USAir today, wondering if you will get out at all today, remember what we had to endure at the time of the merger:
‘Swapping Southern Hospitality for Cool Northern Efficiency’.
Ha.
Go Pack, Go!!
And neither one of them can watch the Super Bowl?
