Two letter carriers have filed a claim with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission contending that having to deliver mail to a nudist colony creates a hostile work environment.
The postal workers complain they have been greeted up close by customers of the White Tail Resort in Ivor, Va. The 45-acre resort bills itself as a “family nudist community” established in 1984.
The resort offers a variety of activities including swimming, karaoke and paddleball games. Its services include providing cabins and campsites, arranging birthday-suit birthday parties and hosting conferences.
It’s hard to imagine, though, that the insurance industry will be holding any of its conferences at the resort.
The two mail carriers say they respect the resort customers’ right to go naked, but that it goes against their personal convictions to have to see White Tail customers frolicking in the buff. They reportedly claim the exposure is affecting their health and well-being.
“I’ve been married 38 years this year, and until I went into that park, I had never seen another man nude except for my husband,” one of the carriers reportedly told a local newspaper.
Reports also say the postal workers have been allowed to stop entering the community by delivering to mailboxes outside a gate. But they complain the nudists have come out to greet them.
The resort’s owner contends his customers never step outside the gate.
Clicking that “like” button Facebook can get you fired. At least that is the experience of a worker in the sheriff's office in Hampton, Va., who clicked on the like button of an opponent to Sheriff B.J. Roberts' 2009-re-election bid, according to news reports.
