Council Bans Mini-Skirts In Crackdown On Inappropriate Clothing In The

[Raistlin]

Council bosses have banned some women workers from wearing mini-skirts and could send them home if they flout the rules.

Four-hundred staff in the children's services department received a memo telling them they should dress respectfully.

Men are advised to wear collared or polo shirts, cotton trousers such as khakis or chinos with a belt, and 'dress shoes'.

Women can wear trousers, informal dresses or skirts of 'reasonable' length, but 'not mini-skirts'.

Unions have threatened to fight the ban at Southampton City Council and one outraged worker, who did not want to be named, said: 'Are they going to come around with a tape measure?'

The leaked email warned social workers, youth workers, educational welfare officers and others in the department to 'carefully consider their work attire'.

The memo added: 'Please try to dress smartly and thoughtfully, in line with other professionals you come across in your day-to-day work, and in a way that shows respect to children and families.'

Unison branch secretary Mike Tucker said: 'I would have thought the council has got better things to do than impose a regimented approach to what people wear. If anyone is disciplined we are more than happy to defend them.'

But council chiefs insisted that although skirts should not be too short, there are no specific rules on skirt length.

A spokesman said: 'We do not have a rigid dress code and will not be going around offices with a tape measure.

'Like any organisation we issue guidance and ask staff to dress appropriately for their job. The email was sent to around 400 people in the children's services department because workers there visit people's homes and deal with sensitive issues.

'It is important staff in customer-facing roles look professional.

'The council employs just under 10,000 staff, with the vast majority dressing completely appropriately.

'We do not have lots of staff at the council wearing mini-skirts – that was just picked as an example of what would be inappropriate.'

As soon as I read his comment I thought that! Great minds...

I have to agree with the ban. You go to work to work, not to be provocative and show off your legs. Vic is the one exception to this, but he works on the street corner, not an office. :P

I am not against mini-skirts, but I do see them as a form of showing sexual intention/interest and that is not appropriate in an office and certainly not going to meet people in their homes on business terms.

Time and a place, something I have had to tell many girlfriends....

[Bizarra]

We have a newly "saved" Puritan in our midst <_<

I didn't think that "The Road to Damascus" was in Gozo Maybe if you try travelling it in reverse, Kynan, You will undo the evil spell & return to normal ..............wait a minute... Normal ? :lol2:

[KPARRIS-JONES]

Normal has such a warped application to me...

What planet are you from ?

It's obvious that you not yet embarked on the fifty years of soul destroying tedium call work...

There are times when the only thing that lightens the day is the illicit glance of an attractive women wearing some provocative clothing...

You missed 1984 , get with the program.

[KPARRIS-JONES]

I am from a planet that believes that when you go to work and your job is not a prostitute or sexual dancer etc that yuo should go there to work, giving no other vibe/inclination whilst doing so, so that you do not distract yourself and others with anything else. ;)

Oh Dear :( Beyond redemption, you are :shutit:

I think you have been reincarnated from a misogynist Male of the pre Suffragette era , with full recollection and prejudices and NO smiley

Before I was born " A glimpse of stockin was looked upon as something shockin" went the song, & a shapely ankle was an erotic delight.

Dress, or lack of it is something dictated by the times in which we live & our current customs & taboos

In parts of the World, it is normal & accepted for Women to go bare breasted & causes no comment. In other parts it is ok for men to wear false penises of extraordinary size.

We have moved on from the Victorian era, thank God, where sex & nudity were underground & to be sniggered at by dirty old Men { Raist, stay in your corner & be quiet }

Kynan, come in out of the dark & enjoy the beauty of the female figure, while our present attitude lasts. Or, come out of the cupboard , join the Taliban & promote Sharia law

Phew! In short, {& much too late} Lighten up & enjoy life. it is wondrous & beautiful

I take great pleasure in gazing upon the female form and often, however I don't see it to be something to be done when at work.

I am in no way against sex/nudity and I get very angry to see how people make such a bloody fuss about it, but in this instance I am with the Council.

In fact, I am looking at a few females now.... thank god for the internet.

I am not as uptight as it seems, I was devastated when the NEC Railway exhibition ceased colliding with the Clothes Show.... all that totti and no eyes to stare at it. There was some serious cleavage there.... not to mention masses of jailbait.

My posts in TOC MOB reveal that I am not so uptight :D
