I will not accept that! I refuse to wear used clothing that I have no idea who has worn it before me or where it has been.<BR/> Talk about looking like hell at work, give these shirts a few months and then view all of us clones and see how professional we look.<BR/>If they don't like what some people were wearing to work, then put a guard at the gatehouse and don't let those people in if they are sagging or have on clothes that are not proper for the campus.

If all TYC staff go on strike, what would Pope do then? If staff organized a walkout, Pope would have to call the Gov. to call the National Guard in from the border to put them in TYC facilities. That would send the media in to a feeding frenzy, and then we could tell the media how we are being treated, and the Gov. would be forced to put in place competent leaders.
