My work has just imformed me that I am no longer allowed to wear trousers (including all female employees). So we are being forced to wear only skirts EVERYDAY regardless of the weather....

Is this allowed can they really do this???

What kind of work is it? Do you wear uniforms? What dress code fofr the men are they operating?

I'm not an employment law expert but I'd imagine they can yes. There are plenty of jobs where a uniform is required. I've never seen an air stewardess wear trousers for instance. I guess there might be limits in the way they can introduce it but I expect they can do so.

This appears to be the third time I've seen this question.

I work at a desk, the men where suits and so do we.

We use to be able to use trousers and skirts now only skirts I find it unfair...

As far as I know they can not force you to wear a skirt as this is discrimination against you as a female. I had this problem several years ago when I worked for Tescos and was told that I was not allowed to wear trousers as part of my uniform. I go my union rep involved and they gave in as it was proved to be discrimination. Unless they are going to make the men wear skirts too!
