Female
airport staff are demanding the right to wear trousers to work.
Around
150 workers at Stansted Airport in Essex have signed a petition, and warned
they might take more direct action if their request is rejected.
They
said wearing skirts on a cold morning can be “very unpleasant”, and are backed
by the GMB union which said women should have a choice of wearing skirts or
trousers.
The
GMB has already fought a similar case – and two years ago won on behalf of two
women who were suspended by Eurostar for refusing to wear skirts.
