A Brit city council has banned mini-skirts at work, staff are outraged





Women have been advised to wear trousers or skirts of "reasonable length" and "not mini-skirts". The leaked email said that council bosses would in the coming weeks "be speaking to staff about the clothes they wear to work".

It 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."

Staff are reportedly outraged by the email. "I would have thought the council has got better things to do than impose a regimented approach to what people wear," the Daily Telegraph quoted Mike Tucker, the council's union secretary.
