A Jacksonville firefighter is taking issue with an order he was given to cut his hair or go home during an overtime shift at Fire Station 1.
The firefighter said he has worked at other stations without any complaint, but it was questioned when he was called to work a fill-in shift at the station.
The firefighter opted to go home rather than cut his hair, and he filed a complaint with the union over the lost overtime in the incident.
The union is carrying the dispute forward in a grievance. The department, meanwhile, said it supports the decision to require the firefighter to cut his hair.
