Eileen, this is a federal law. It trumps state law every time.

So, of course, she's not tanning now. She's waiting to see what her doctor tells her. I was supportive and said that I would not make her tan if her doctor told her not to, even though we know the truth... but I did tell her that I'd have to spray tan her then. She's fine with that.

But, it still irks me that she's afraid to tan after knowing all the facts.

Good luck with that one. She was totally fine doing Mystic at first as well...did it several times. We see how that turned out.

Just let her work and tell her to keep her/husbands beliefs to herself, wear bronzer on her face and arms and call it a day.

This shouldn't be that hard.

THIS ISN'T A UNION POSITION. THIS IS A TANNING SALON.

Engfant, this has nothing to do with a union, it has everything to do with the federal government.

NAVI HIT THE NAIL ON THE HEAD....

"Now, here is the loop hole. If she does not have it stated somewhere (employee manual) that part of the job requires her to tan/be tan, then she could/might run into hot water with the state."

IF....you do not have it in writing and a signature from the employee that she is aware that part of her job requirements is to maintain a tan whether it be a UV tan or a Mystic Tan...then quite honestly you may not have any leg to stand on.

Eileen, I just stated the 45 Firefighters as the reason as to why I have to take the classes. If numbers is your deal, then the city has more than 25,000 employees and the classes have been very specific as what we can do with an employee that is pregnant according to the Federal government.

Even if Angelcat wins in court how much money is it going to cost her to defend herself.

DC is right, this shouldn't be that hard.

I normally totally disagree with HOTSTUFF,but he has a valid point.Is it worth the cost of lawyers,court fees,attending court hearings,lawyer fees and oh yea,lawyer fees.

I worked for "BIG" companies."Big" companies have "Big" money.MY old boss use to say,I got 50 million I can spend on attorneys,so don't worry about it.

If you can afford to duke it out in court,then go for it.Otherwise try your best to bend and not break any rules.

engfant · 11-16-2007, 11:54 AM

But they have to AFFORD to take it to court.

You telling me a PREGNANT woman that works a tanning gig has this $$$?

engfant · 11-16-2007, 11:57 AM

And this DOES have everything to do with dealing with UNIONS and individuals. You join a UNION for job security and benefits.

I don't know what angelcat has for a CONTRACT TO WORK but I have a feeling it amounted to YOU WANNA WORK HERE? YES? YOU ARE HIRED.

Even so, F HER. Say you are DOWNSIZING YOUR SALON TO MAKE ENDS MEET.
