When you are wearing a uniform you are the image of your company. No one knows your name so they associate your message with your employer.

This is similar, I think, to when Matt Barber (currently a Concerned Woman) wrote an anti-gay screed and used the prestige of Allstate Insurance, his employer to give him credibility. Allstate wasn’t happy with that and let him go.

If you don’t have your employer’s permission, don’t make political statements using their image or their name.
