PROPER USE OF UNIFORMS. 1. Bargaining unit employees may wear their TSA uniform during the normal work commute, on breaks, during meal periods, or during time periods between split shifts. Bargaining unit employees may also wear their uniform during brief stops that are part of the normal work commute. Examples of stops that may be part of the normal work commute include, but are not limited to, dropping off and picking up children from day care or school, briefly stopping to buy a cup of coffee or have a meal, or grocery shopping. 2. The public will view a bargaining unit employee in uniform as representing TSA, even if the bargaining unit employee is off duty. Therefore, bargaining unit employees may not wear the uniform in inappropriate establishments, or participate in activities that could compromise the credibility of TSA. Examples of activities not permitted while in uniform include, but are not limited to, gambling, consuming alcoholic beverages, or participating in public events (including volunteer activities) not explicitly approved or sponsored by TSA/DHS. If bargaining unit employees have questions about a specific activity, they should discuss it with their supervisors. 3. Bargaining unit employees may wear their uniforms at solemn occasions, such as funerals or memorials, with FSD approval.
