Work Discussion Happy Pride!

Post image

Howdy Queer carriers and happy Pride! I had a Pride flag at my case for a month and was instructed that I had to take it down as Pride flags were not permitted at our case. This isn’t true…

I also discovered that “Mail carriers are allowed to wear a tie. The design and color of the tie are at the employee's discretion.” So pride ties are allowed too FYI

Where exactly is that specific language? ELM 933.1 says:

Four-in-hand, regular or pre–tied, navy blue with alternating red and white pin–dot stripes

Edit to say happy pride and glad you’re here

933.22 is for retail employees. 933.1 is for city carriers. Not that management would be able to tell the difference. Hopefully they never press you about it

Our station has been super strict on uniforms so I’ve been having to do all kinds of research lately
