Assuming that you are female � imagine how the men at your work feel, having to wear a skirt.

Mortartube

If they could justifiably show that wearing skirts could be hazardous, such as being near moving machinery or you have the danger of chemicals splashing your legs, then probably yes. If it is just their whim, then I can't say for sure.

The easy way to put them off is to tell them they will have to supply a company uniform or buy you trousers, as you have no trousers only skirts.

Did you read the question Morta?

SuDFB - is your boss, who made this rule (no doubt a man) a bit of a lech?

Mortartube

I did read it no-knowledge. We were asked, can they really do this. I was trying to address that part of the question.

''Forced to wear only skirts''? The mind boggles!!

Mortartube

I concede your point no-knowledge after a re-read, I got it @rse about face, I can only say that it's not easy being me.

We are provided a uniform by the company, and our trousers have been taken away so that we wear only skirts...
Obviously the men wear trousers...
My boss is actualy a woman which makes it worse...

I work at a desk so I can't give the excuse of machinery or chemicals...

I just don't think its very fair that even when it's cold we are forced to wear skirts also it must be considered.

The only way to let them allow us to wear skirts is if I show them that it's illegal for them to do so...
