Labor Board Says Dress Code At Nissan Factory Violates Worker Rights

The National Labor Relations Board is charging Nissan Motor Co. and a contract worker agency with violating workers’ rights at the company’s Mississippi plant.

Filed Monday, the charges claim Nissan illegally stifled workers’ right to wear pro-union or anti-union clothing when it created a uniform policy in 2014 for its manufacturing plants in Canton, as well as in Smyrna and Decherd, Tennessee. Also charged is Kelly Services, which provides an unknown number of contract workers in Canton.

The 2014 policy, as laid out in a question-and-answer document attached to the labor board complaint, called for most employees to wear company issued pants and shirts.

Nissan spokesman David Reuter said Friday, though, that uniforms were never mandatory.

A uniform requirement? How dare Nissan.

Who gets hired by a company then feels compelled to argue their right to dress like a slob? My company requires business casual while at the corporate office. Does that mean I come into the office dressed in jeans and steel toe boots because it should be my right? Nope. Would I like to? Yep.

If people are getting a solid paycheck, stfu.
