Wearing the uniform is not one of the duties of the position, so not wearing

CityDerail doesn't have a "positive company approach"

That would be management then as they're not doing their job.

When it runs well management take the kudos, when it doesn't they blame the
workers.

I've never heard of someone not taking the train cause a guard wasn't
wearing a tie.

But they are up to the required standard and performing the required duties.
It would be a waste of hundreds of thousands of dollars to sack an
experienced worker cause he won't wear a tie.

Guards not wearing ties and Drivers with wrong shoes is not costing
CityDerail any business. Failing to adequately train new Drivers most
assuredly is.
