NEW WESTMINSTER, British Columbia, March 15, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Female servers and hosts at a Boston Pizza location are fighting back against a sexist policy requiring them to wear skirts at work.
“Boston Pizza franchise owners have implemented a “skirt policy” that is not only sexist, it objectifies women in their workplace,” said UFCW 1518 President Kim Novak. “This policy needs to end now. And we are calling on Boston Pizza to ensure that none of their locations ever institutes sexist dress code policies again.”
Several workers at the location reached out to UFCW 1518 about the skirt policy. They had attempted to resolve the dress code issue themselves by bringing it up with restaurant management, but their requests were ignored.
