Postal worker sent home for wearing Obama T-shirt

WLBT 3 - Jackson, MS: Postal worker sent home for wearing Obama T-shirt: "A U.S. Postal worker says he was sent home Saturday after refusing to take off a Barack Obama T-shirt.

Fifty-year old Roger Thompson works at the main post office in downtown Jackson. Thompson said workers were told Friday that they could not wear President-Elect Obama T-shirts, hats or other paraphernalia.

He says the post office plant manager told employees they would receive disciplinary action if they wore Obama attire because some workers complained that it upset them. He feels his rights are being violated."
