]]> Tue, 15 Aug 2017 04:44:55 UTC 21578185 https://www.gopetition.com/signature/locate/21578155?utm_medium=rss I currently am being harassed by my employer to change my appearance due to patients feeling unsafe around people with pink hair/colored hair and tattoos, however HR has no documentation to back this up. The NUHW union is fighting very hard for us at st Joseph health-Santa Rosa memorial hospital to keep our freedom and to be who we are not who someone wants us to be. I have letter from the president of our hospital stating how a patient mentioned me in our patient satisfactory survey and how well of a job I do. What he didn't know was what I looked like... this shows it's not what I look like it's how I treat people, and my skills. I'm hoping if we continue to fight for our rights as individuals one day my kids won't have to deal with feelings the way I do- discriminated due to being me.

]]> Tue, 15 Aug 2017 04:36:11 UTC 21578155 https://www.gopetition.com/signature/locate/21486661?utm_medium=rss Im signing this petition because I have been told to change my hair colour and cover my tattoos although there are other people with different coloured hair and tattoos that aren't being asked to cover or change their hair colour. I don't understand why my hair colour could affect my customer service or my tattoos that are not offensive. Also the majority of customers that enter the store I work in have different coloured hair and tattoos and I also get many comments on how nice they are.

]]> Tue, 29 May 2012 08:47:28 UTC 12934799 https://www.gopetition.com/signature/locate/12778909?utm_medium=rss I think hair color, ink, and piercings are part of a persons individuality. By discriminating against these, the government is stating that they want everyone to be alike, and that those who aren't, don't deserve to be treated equally. How is this any different than being of a certain racial background, or being more attracted to the same sex? Its not. Suppressing individuality is NOT the way to go.

It has actually been stated to me I would have had several of these jobs if I would change my bright red hair, and take out my two eyebrow rings.

There wasn't. So after I colored my hair someone complained.

The officer looked at my hair and made me get out of the car, and treated me like a second class citizen. This needs to stop. I am a good person who cares about all people, I do not look at others as if they are different.
