That sucks, you must work in the Bible Belt. I wore that exact same sleeve through my first year of driving no questions asked.
Then one day I said friend that and went in tatted sleeve an all and they haven't said anything. Our district probably has the strongest union in the nation. Management simply does not mess with petty b.s. such as tattoos to avoid the storm from the local.

Other than during Basic, were any of the undergarments that you wore while on active duty government issued?

It
Employees are required to follow the written guidelines that were in place at the time they were hired.
Visible tats were allowed when I got hired, therefore the company cannot retroactively change the rules for people who were hired prior to the change in policy.
Newer employees...post-2004 I believe...were made aware of the new policy at the time they were hired, and agreed to follow it as a condition of their employment.
It isn't a "double standard."

I hate to argue with you-really-but it is THEIR company and if they choose to change policies they certainly can. Of course, you are free to have your own opinion.

It may be their company but the conditions of our employment with their company are subject to a collective bargaining agreement that they agreed to enter into and are therefore required to follow. And that is an established fact, not just my opinion.

Their appearance standards are non-negotiable.

You couldnt be more wrong.
Art 16 of the Western Supplement allows the company to establish "reasonable" appearance standards. So it already has been negotiated.
Is it reasonable to inform prospective new hires that covering visible tats is a condition of employment? Yes.
Is it reasonable to hire and then allow an employee to work with visible tats for 20 years, only to inform him that he must start wearing pants or long sleeves in 100 degree weather? No.
And in addition to being unreasonable, it would also be a violation of Art 23 Maintainence Of Standards.
My guess is that your area has similar conract language.
