Being tired and thinking Bureau of Land Management made this very confusing at glance.
Also fuck the courts for that BS.
Why is it "fuck the courts"? This whole thing is about what a worker can do while on the job... If a company doesn't want to be associated with something it should have a right to employ whatever restrictions on dress it wants. That's kind of the point of dress codes with companies to begin with.
dress code is also completely made up bullshit that has no reason to exist in the modern world
why does a company's right to "employ whatever restrictions on dress it wants" overrule the person's innate wish to express themselves?
Companies can choose who works there just as people can choose who to work for. If companies don't like what an employee is wearing then they can fire them, and if people don't like what a company isn't allowing them to wear they can quit.
but in actual practice, people are basically locked into jobs. it is not reasonable for someone to have to switch jobs over dress code and you know that; the employer shouldn't just get to slowly immiserate people
Oh okay, we have just as much choice about where we work as they have about who they hire? 🙄
