You would think that with an impending election which will probably see a Conservative government elected and the necessity for cutting public services and therefore public sector jobs, the Trades Unions would have something better to debate, but no, you can always rely on some union wazzock who thinks he’s important, introducing a motion for debate which defies belief.
This year it’s ‘High Heels’. Yup – with unemployment at 2.7 million as I write (always assuming a certain G Brown hasn’t had his grubby little paws on the numbers) and the unions less important than they’ve ever been, what are they debating? They’re trying to introduce and pass a motion that ‘high heels’ should be outlawed in the workplace.
Read the motion below.
"Congress believes high heels may look glamorous on the Hollywood catwalks but are completely inappropriate for the day-to-day working environment. Congress calls on all employers who have dress codes that promote high heels to examine the hazards their women workers face and ensure that proper risk assessments are carried out and that where these show the wearing of high heels is hazardous, the high heels should be replaced with sensible and comfortable shoes.”
I’m trying not to laugh. Will there be a motion next year stating that Alice bands cannot be worn because Alice never gave her permission?

This post made me laugh, Tom! I love your insight into world affairs... who knew that high heels would be much more important to address than the failing economy or unemployment? ;)
