Visable tattoos

[jjrhea]

A lady at our center is being forced to wear pants in ninety degree plus weather all for a tattoo on her calf. Is there anyone out there that have run into this at their center? If so, what was the outcome?

Actors makeup would cover it up. If she's inside, they have no right.

 

[jjrhea]

She's not. She's out on the road. Not even an neoprene sleeve was acceptable. Time for work. Thanks for your thoughts.

UPS has the right to enforce reasonable appearance standards.

In our area, the standard has been that "if the tattoo is not offensive and was present when the employer hired/promoted the employee to the driving position then it does not need to be covered up." Speak with your business agent to see how the standard has been applied in your local.

It might seem counter-intuitive, but wearing long pants and long sleeves can actually be cooler if you are working in the sun. However, a breathable fabric such as cotton is much preferred over polyester. Perhaps she can approach her doctor for a medical prescription for cotton fabric uniforms.

Tatoo on my calf since day 1 sixteen years ago. I have never been allowed to wear shorts, neither will she.

In Wisconsin they use to be able to wear ace bandages, but now there are a lot of drivers with long pants and long sleeves.

Tatoos have to be covered here as well. The neoprene covers do the job. They are allowed here. As long as it's covered, I am not aware of what the contract language or UPS uniform language actually says though.

Some guys here will wear long pants to work and change into shorts on the road. Most sups don't care.

There's a feeder driver at my hub that has a huge neck tattoo.

Why would anyone have a tattoo of a neck? I would much prefer Woody Woodpecker chomping on a cigar!

Our center manager has sleeves and regularly rolls up his shirt sleeves. Even before he came in, we have many drivers with visible tats and don't think anyone has heard anything about it.

Put the beer down and try this one again.

At least he didn't roll up his tats!
