I have nothing against wearing a name tag at work, but for a high school lunch lady, can they make us wear it if it has our last name also. Some people don't want the last name for one reason or another. I have never seen a waitress or anyone in food service have their last name on the name tag. Can they do this ? Maybe in a bank or perhaps an airport... Also, shouldn't the custodians also in our union have to wear one? I have e-mailed my union but have no answer from them yet so I've been trying other sources ...

Hey Audrey,
You must be a hoot and a holler to work with!
What's the problem? Shouldn't you worry about other things like how often people are washing their hands, who isn't wearing a hairnet, who's not rotating stock.... !
But if you must, it would be perfectly acceptable to most authorities to list only your first name and last initial. Most Hospitals do this for their nursing staff. Oh, wait, that was only in the Psych ward....
Oh yeah, same thing.

I do not know that they can make you advertise your last name...and I think you may have a legitimate complaint there, however, the majority of jobs in any "customer service" related area (even being a 'lunch lady') requires wearing name tags. If you sit down and think about it wearing the name tag is to every ones benefit.

stalkers. creeps. privacy!! no you should not be required. I worked at Yankee Candle International. for the first 3 months we had FIRST name only badges. then corporate deemed we should take them off. for personal safety. I worked in personnell before that and we were never allowed to give out last names.
but I"m CERTAIN they do evry thing for legal reasons... so There has to be a legal reason. don't wear it. pursee it with the union , maybe even the state atty. general's office? there has to be someone

I believe things have turned out this way. It is probably a legal issue, to work around children. But I think first names are appropriate enough. Or first initial and last name. They are probably just trying to make it a safe zone for children.

I really don't see what the big deal is.You are in a hs. KIds can get access to any employee names. There is no need for the school to give the kids access to any other personal info.

I would ask the person who printed your name tag to print one with your first name only. Don't make a bigger deal out of this than it is.
