[QUOTE="soberups, post: 809884, member: 14668"] Nothing was said to me at all about tattoos when I got hired as a part-timer 24 years ago. In my location the company started informing prospective new hires about the no-visible-tats-for-drivers rule about 10 years ago. They also tried to apply the new rule to drivers who had been hired [I]with[/I] visible tats and had been wearing short sleeved shirts for [I]years[/I] without anything being said. Our local was successful in getting these drivers "grandfathered" in, although they must cover up any new tats. I personally have no dog in this fight, since my one and only tattoo is on my upper arm and cannot be seen without taking my shirt off and I have no intention of getting another one. My only concern is that we [I]cannot[/I] allow a precedent to be set for allowing the company to arbitrarily change rules after the fact without first negotiating with the union. Otherwise, we open the door to all sorts of petty and ridiculous rules being created by the same corporate morons who already make our lives miserable with the flavor-of-the-week metrics that they are continually shoving down our throats. I absolutely agree with reasonable rules about maintaining a professional appearance. I just dont trust UPS to be reasonable. [/QUOTE]
