YOU ALL LOOK LIKE SCRAGGY HOMELESS EX-CON NO ACCOUNTS!!!

I work for teamsters, UPS contracted me
Ask your union rep. We voted against the contract
As did I but archaic rules scrubbed that out. Workers rights were being sold off long before this last contract. Affording a turkey isn't really the point here. The op demanded pride, but apparently pride is shown by shaving your face? And not having tattoos?

There are more important things to care about, than the way you look while you lug a package up someone's driveway.

There's a big difference between keeping the trim beard and looking like a ZZ top

Sorry, but I don’t care anymore.

Neat and clean, there is no excuse for looking like a bum. You can have you’re beard an tats, just look neat, is that so hard?

I have a feeling this will all come to a head at contract negotiations and we will be given a choice of lower pay to keep the beards, tats and health insurance. I know I’ll be voting for the money side. Money talks! Appearance standards will return and back to shaving daily and tat sleeves. I see lots of warning letters.

I, for one, spend too much of my life actually doing this job, I don't need to spend any more time than absolutely necessary outside of work, not being paid, to prepare for work. They complain about time theft...

You realize the company changed the standards without even negotiating, right? It would be stupid to give up that kind of negotiating leverage if your plan is to threaten to change the standards back if the Teamsters don't agree to less pay. It doesn't work that way. The company changed the standard because they knew they couldn't attract employees with the crap contract they got the Teamsters to force through. To distract from their ineptness, they framed it as a woke "equity" issue. I don't care what their reasoning was, I'll take a step in the right direction regardless of the motives.
