Dress Code Cuts Too Close, Employee Says

A new dress code for employees of Radio Shack has prompted a Burbank man to resign his part-time job with the company rather than shave his 7-year-old mustache.

High school computer teacher Sid Kolpas, 38, said the dress code--designed to improve the professional appearance of workers--was “invading my personal liberty.” Company official Bob Chatley called Kolpas “a valued employee” who can have his job back “if he wants to conform to the policy.”

The policy requires that male employees be clean shaven and wear a dark business suit with dress shoes, white shirt and tie.
