What the petition asks
To protect people from discrimination in the workplace, and in particular based on tattoos and piercings. For some people this can be as important as race or gender.
We want people to be protected from prejudicial statements and discrimination within the workplace and pre-employment. Having tattoos and piercings does not affect your ability to fill a role.
