Obama Regime slaps down Walmart dress code

The Washington Examiner reports:

Walmart violated its employees' rights when it instituted a restrictive new dress code last year that union activists said was intended to prevent workers from wearing labor insignia on their clothes, a National Labor Relations Board administrative law judge has ruled. The judge ordered the retail giant to rescind the dress code at all of its stores.

The nation's largest retailer had argued the policy was intended to prevent employees from wearing items with any logos, not just union ones, that would distract customers. The judge disagreed, saying the prohibition clearly violated the section of the National Labor Relations Act that allows workers to wear union insignia.

"The offending dress code language regarding logos is overly broad, is not justified by special circumstances and places unlawful restrictions on associates' Section 7 right to wear union insignia," said administrative law judge Geoffrey Carter in a ruling signed Thursday and made public Friday.

The Obama regime knows how you should dress at work. It appears their arrogance knows know bound.
