All unshaved guys will be punished!!

[lamina]

Another drift as a front cover story at every national newspapers: coercive fees are being charged to all unshaved workers of Savinor. Being workers at a meat industry they have deliveries to make (butchers and so on) each delivery worker unshaved will be charged € 10 /US 14 a day. Some vigilantes will be nominated for the task... For portuguese readers...

PCP or Portuguese Comunist Part. is denunciating the abuse

Why? Due to appearance or sanitary reasons?

How about some cliffsnotes for us non-Portuguese readers.

So a man with beard or mustache is not allowed to make deliveries?

 

[Niles]

Ridiculous.

Appearance mainly.

Nope or they can do it...but the paysheet will have a diary unshaven guy fee

UPS disallows beards. Their drivers must be clean shaven, but can have a mustache IIRC.

So they don't look distinguished just a bit like the YMCA's fifth man.... especially in those fetching brown shorts........

I don't believe the grocery store chain Winn-Dixie allows any of their employees to wear facial hair.

Wouldn't it be awful to be the manager that has to go tell the lady in the deli that she needs to shave her chin....

back in college i had a goatee while i worked at the local grocery store, and one of the ladies i worked with had longer facial hair than me...

 

[Swampfox]

Well, if you don't like the company's policy on facial hair, go find a new job.

I didn't bother trying to find the story, but here is that link translated.

Thank you. Did it translated the beard article in english? I can't find it...

 

[mmack66]

"...punished!!" to me would mean that the unshaven person is treated like Richard Gere in "An Officer and a Gentleman" until shaving becomes second nature. A fine is no big deal.

Like I said, I didn't look through it, I just translated the link that was provided. I did a glance at the story tag lines and nothing seemed to look like what the OP was talking about...

Thanks again. Some abuses it seems.
