Petition: Make it illegal for employers to require men to wear ties at work

In this day and age, surely it's inappropriate for employers to require men to wear ties at work in jobs where women don't have to wear ties. This is connected with the attitude "men are completely different from women and here's the proof!" (i.e. a tie). I think this should have been included in the original version of the Sex Discrimination Act. Apart from this, employees are often selected on their ability to wear a tie rather than their ability to do the job, which results in poor service to the public. At the moment enforced tie wearing for men is decided on the basis of legal precedent set by Judges. Surely this is wrong.

"Apart from this, employees are often selected on their ability to wear a tie rather than their ability to do the job, which results in poor service to the public."

Ridiculous.

The rest is just the usual PC nonsense.

Re: Petition: Make it illegal for employers to require men to wear ties at work

When I worked for England's largest computer retailer, I had to wear a tie while the women were given 'the choice' of wearing a neckchief. Most of them did not, and in addition men had to have all buttons on their shirt done up while, again, the women had a choice to have the top three undone.

It wasn't a major issue, but in the summer months it became increasingly unfair to be forced to wear something so restrictive while the women were free to loosen up. It turned out there was nothing written in the contract about this, and my my manager was full of b.s.

So after several weeks of asking for permission, I just kept 'forgetting' my tie... regularly.

Re: Petition: Make it illegal for employers to require men to wear ties at work

A high school in my area used to forbid both boys and girls from wearing shorts to school but allowed girls to wear miniskirts. So, some hot and frustrated boys started wearing miniskirts and the rules were changed: everyone got to wear shorts.



Empowered, liberated, independent, strong women can sleep on the couch too!!!
