A United States Post Office clerk went into work the day after the 2024 presidential election wearing Trump attire and was asked to change clothes.

Michelle Albert, 57, from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, says she felt “violated and embarrassed” soon after beginning her shift at the distribution center in Warrendale.

“It’s the day after he won,” she says. “You should be able to wear what you want.”

Michelle began her workday like any other. “At 3:00 PM, I clocked in and I was staying there waiting for our pre-sort,” she recalls.

“My MDO [manager, distribution operations] walked up to me. She came charging out of the office and she came right up to me and pointed at me. And she said, ‘You can’t wear that here.’ I said, ‘Why can’t I? The election is over. Trump won.’”

Despite her reasoning, Michelle’s manager insisted, “You have to turn your shirt inside out.”

Unwilling to comply, Michelle made a choice. “I said, ‘No, I’m not turning my shirt inside out.’ She said, ‘Well then you can’t be here.’ So I turned around to the clock, clocked out, and left.
