The fact is that not all employees need be treated the same or even fairly. That is unless their treatment is due to some form of legally actionable discrimination. In other words, it is illegal if it is because of their race, religion, disability, age (over 40), gender, national origin, etc. Otherwise, a company can set the conditions of employment much as it sees fit absent a union agreement or employment contract to the contrary. So unless your piercings are required by your religion, etc. you will have to remove them or face termination.
