Representatives of the Trade Union Congress (TUC) have called for parliament to change sexist laws that require women to wear high heels to work.
Key leaders of the group have asked Theresa May to stop wearing heels, as a statement in support of disgruntled women who feel discriminated by make employers in the labour market.
Penny Robinson, who heads the group of delegates said at TUC annual conference in Brighton, that the prime.minister should get rid of those heels and wear comfortable shoes and flaps to her cabinet, prime minister questions, and to meet all the EU leaders.
Robinson’s Call was echoed by her colleague, France’s O’ Grady, who derided the alleged discriminatory practices at the workplace as “outdated sexist policies” which should give way to common sense.

O’ Grady said it was ridiculous that in 2016, employers were imposing mandatory policies for women to wear heels and makeup in the workplace just to suit an image.
The campaign was initially sparked after a London receptionist, Nicholas Thorpe, was sent home for wearing heels to work.

The group hailed the fact Britain now has a female prime minister, something all women of real substance are proud of.
They want Theresa May to use her position and authority to address sexual discrimination in the workplace, and dress in a way.that supports their course. It will be interesting to see what eventually occurs in Parliament.
