[QUOTE="The-UK-Guy, post: 331409, member: 9589"] As center managers come and go I switch from long to short sleeve shirts. I used to think that by refusing to cover them I was standing up against discrimination in the workplace or something of that nature but to be honest all its ever brought me is trouble , worry and hardships. Its just not worth my effort to go against the flow, my jobs hard enough as it. I know sooner or later i will get a sup. that (a) doesnt give a dam (b) doesnt like them but judges me on my performance (c) doesnt know the policy reg tattoos (d) never sees me because I dont go to pcm`s. I have never been shown in writing where it says I can or can not have tattoos. There is nothing in the contract (I dont know about the new one) reg tattoos. I dont regret getting sleeved up , unfortuantly you will always run into some ignorant people ,such is life I can honestly say though that It gives me incentive to perform my job better than the next person because I stand out a little more than your average joe, example ,a call saying " one of your drivers cut me off, he had tattoos all up his neck ". usualy ends up with me and 2 other guys in the center managers office. I also realise that some people are scared, dislike or just not used to seeing a walking work of art delivering medicine to their doctors office , so I go out of my way to be freindly towards people. In all honesty I get a little nervy around people that are all tagged and sleeved up, saying that though I also get nervy around cops. (lol) In a perfect world no one would be judged on the color of their skin black, white, brown or blue green and yellow with a spot of purple but until then dress accordingly. This article titled "Body art in the workplace" confirms that companies have a constitutional right to ban employees with tattoos: Companies can limit employees' personal expression on the job as long as they do not impinge on their civil liberties. According to the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), employers are allowed to impose dress codes and appearance policies as long as they do not discriminate or hinder a person's race, color, religion, age, national origin, or gender. There is a strong legal basis for discriminating against the tattooed, especially if the employers fears that having tattooed employees might hurt their professional image at the end of the day we are truck drivers right [/QUOTE]
