[QUOTE="Dustyroads, post: 669822, member: 22610"] I think the EEOC will sort this one out. Insofar as there are probably very few UPS drivers who have legitimate religious beliefs that would be impacted by the no beard's policy, an adverse ruling by EEOC would have very little impact on most UPS drivers. I noticed a few months ago in the Teamster magazine, there was a photograph of a group of drivers, I cannot recall what urban area they were from, but there were a bunch of them, and one guy had a untrimmed beard and a turban on his head, wearing a UPS driver's uniform. I always try to understand or at least accept other people's religious beliefs, when they don't infringe on other's rights or beliefs. I think in this case, the beard (and turban) causes very little damage to UPS, and does protect the individual's religious belief, so I imagine that EEOC will rule against UPS in this one. Except for the few Sikh's that may work for us, and maybe some Mennonites, I don't think most of us should throw that razor away. [/QUOTE]
