HiViz skirt used in shorts protest

[Mouse]

I missed this at the time in July, but standard use of a skirt when the sun comes out and UK chaps are denied the use of shorts.

I like how he has found matching socks too! Shame he didn't also have a orange hi-vis hat.

This may not be a case of sex discrimination if a "binwoman" would be required to wear trousers as well (since it looks like the rule is in place for safety reasons - and not sex/gender norms as is often the case).

As has been pointed out before, skirted rigs can be cooler than shorts.

Erm, 2022, what's new?
He has probably been fired or got bored of the rats using his shady bits

There was a follow-up story in September 2022 about a two-week trial of shorts for the York binmen.

It is unclear whether the trial was successful and the binmen were granted permission to wear shorts from then on.

I apologise folks, Mrs Mouse sent me the link to the reasent story on instagram https://www.instagram.com/p/DNyfhqsZMMW/ So rather than just post a link to Instagram, I did some research to find the story source, where I found it on the BBC. What I didn't see was the 2022 date as Stevie pointed out.

Shows to be more careful with social media and how news stories go round in circles.
