The American Federation of Government Employees Local 1897 filed a complaint on behalf of a male civilian employee who has for five years worn a bra, makeup and earrings at his job as an airfield management specialist at Florida's Eglin Air Force base. The employee, who has occasionally encountered resistance to his attire, said he wants a recent reprimand removed from his file, an apology from the officers who punished him, permission to continue dressing as he wishes, and $580,000.
