[QUOTE="WardenJr, post: 676709, member: 27331"] Quite simply, because the Constitution does not apply to the workplace. Or more correctly, it does not apply to the rules an employer makes, so long as they don't infringe on existing law. An employer can mandate all sorts of things that the government can't. An employer can search your locker (subject to the collective bargaining agreement, if applicable), an employer can apply an outright ban to firearms on its property, an employer can limit speech and assembly on the property, etc. You can get into a sticky area with religion due to discrimination laws. Roe v. Wade does not apply because it addresses the States' right, or lack thereof, to limit abortions...the States', not a private individual or corportation. When you accept employement with a company, you accept certain guidelines and rules. You can try to change them, but to claim something is un-Constitutional is wrong. Something may be illegal and it can be challenged that way. Too my knowledge, there is no law prohibiting an employer from banning beards. [/QUOTE]
