Tattoos

*We the undersigned petition the Prime Minister to amend current Employment Descrimination Law to protect the rights of People with Tattoos and Piercings. More details

Submitted by Anna Invernizzi of Fighting Against Workplace Prejudice for Alternative People

Modified people are not being protected by the law; Companies and organizations face massive implications for not hiring a person based on their age, disabilities, sex or gender, race or religion, sexual orientation or criminal past – but appearance is not once mentioned, and there is nothing to stop an employer from witholding a position based on how someone looks - the only exception being if a body modification is in contravention of health and safety laws. People with tattoos, piercings, unusual hair style and/or colour should be given the same rights as everyone else, and should be protected by the law to avoid mindless discrimination whether they are seeking employment (to include a prospective employer witholding a position) or are employed and experiencing descrimination from their employers (to include witholding promotion or experience of bullying from colleagues) based on their appearance.*

• This was posted on FB. I wrote this: ":/ I'm 50/50 on signing up for this. I think its respectful to cover up modifications that can easily be hid by clothing. However there's kids thesedays getting visible tattoos on their necks and knuckles without a second thought about it because it's so in "trend" to, most being in their early 20's
  I have no problem in hiding my stretched ears, my tattooed arms and feet. It's fine by me, I dont mind looking "professional"
  
  

However I do think it's annoying that they will judge you on something silly like a nose/tongue piercing, hair colour etc."

Interested in hearing your opinions though with "Mods" Vs Workplaces/Jobs
