An Edmonton woman who says she’s being discriminated against because she has 22 visible piercings is reigniting the debate about workplace dress codes.
Kendra Behringer, 24, complained that one prospective employer threw out her résumé in front of her, but lawyers believe her chances of establishing discrimination are slim to non-existent, while employment and image experts say businesses are entitled to set rules on how workers dress.
“The [employer] is going to perhaps wonder, ‘Will this person be able to conform to the rules that we have, or is this somebody who is more rebellious?’” said Diane Craig, president of Toronto-based image consultant company Corporate Class Inc.
Ms. Behringer has launched a campaign to make it illegal for employers to discriminate based on body modifications, something that would require an amendment to the Alberta Human Rights Act.
Her petition has amassed more than 200 signatures and she’s looking for an MLA to put her case to the Alberta legislature, she told the Edmonton Journal.

Umm ... need to see her picture before passing judgment ...
200 signatures, wow. Tattoo parlor owners, head shop dealers, who else?
In my employment-at-will state I could fire her ass and never give her a reason. Services no longer required. Adios!
I’ve seen it elsewhere.
Trust me on this, she is throw away the key guilty.
Welcome to real life, Kendra.
Very Guilty!
I don’t. 22 piercings does not equate to a business professional.
woof
At link, chobby but not ugly girl that would be alot prettier with a more natural look.
Porn shops...

200 signatures can be classified as "amassing", good look with that petition.

Look = luck
LOL George Carlin. Dogs got eyebrows they can manipulate. Cats got a bunch of s##t sticking out of their head.

Not my thing and I don’t find it attractive at all — but when Tower Records was still in business, this was the type of “look” on most of their employees. (Hmm ... maybe that’s one reason why they’re no longer in business.)
Self-mutilation is not a “born that way” defect.
Go join the circus.
Skankoferous Hose Beast! Run!
(Quick! Somebody throw it a porkchop. We can escape while it's doing the Nom-Noms.)
Are you customer facing or skill based employee? If the former 22 piercings isn’t the best idea.
