Staff return 'see-through' shirts

Female staff on National Express trains between London and Edinburgh will not wear new uniforms because the blouses are too revealing, a union has said. The outfits were "simply too thin and too cheap", making them virtually "see-through", the Transport Salaried Staffs Association (TSSA) has claimed. The blouses, given to more than 500 women who work on the East Coast Main Line, have been sent back to the firm. National Express said it would change the fabric "if there is a problem". And it accused the union of "mischief-making" as the blouses followed "a standard shirt design from the manufacturers' catalogue".

Another victory for common sense and against exploitation in the work place...

Thank you for your comments, my secretary will now lose them in the in-tray for a few hours before finding them again and passing them to me.
