How can we ever be respected in our job when some people publicly claim it to be easy. I expect people in Pizza Hut at least have the sense to say they work hard and do a good job instead of running themselves down!
It is true that a lot of us have stamped off PER books for the RMA and we should be ashamed of what we have done, we always complain about the way we are treated and then do everything the boss wants!
It is our knowledge of the whole A/C system we are working on that makes our decisions more than just changing a box but changing it for a reason and knowing what to do next when the box dosnt fix it.
If we get it wrong resulting in a loss of life will the court say just let him go he only changed a box or will we suddenly be a highly skilled person who is responsible for everything.
As for the unions they are not representing us we are a small group who and be thrown to lions everytime they want to get something for the RMA men.
