Cathay Pacific ends skirts-only rule for female staff
國泰航空結束女性員工只能穿裙裝規則
http://www.bbc.com/news/business-43593147
The Hong Kong airline has agreed flight attendants can choose to wear
trousers, after intense union pressure.
在公會強烈壓力下，香港航空公司已同意空服員可以選擇穿褲子(而非裙子)了
Some crew had complained that wearing short skirts had made them feel
uncomfortable - especially when putting bags in overhead lockers or taking
public transport to and from work.
一些空姐抱怨說，穿短裙讓他們感到不舒服 - 特別是在機艙頭頂行李箱放袋子或上下
班搭交通工具時。
But change will not happen until Cathay next refreshes its staff uniforms.
但是要到下次國泰換新裝時才會改變
That could take three years, according to unions.
工會表示這可能需要三年的時間
"We welcome and appreciate the company's decision on giving us an option in
choosing uniforms," said Pauline Mak, vice chair of the Hong Kong Dragon
Airlines Flight Attendants Association.
我們歡迎並感謝公司決定讓我們有選項去選擇制服
'Protection'
The skirts-only rule has been in place since the airline was founded in 1946
- despite a growing backlash which appears to have gained even more momentum
during the #MeToo movement.
自從航空公司成立於1946年以來，僅限裙子規則就已經存在 - 儘管反彈聲浪越來越大，
似乎在#MeToo運動中獲得了更多的動力。
Flight attendants had requested a redesign of their workwear in 2014 - saying
the skirts were too revealing and may provoke sexual harassment.
空服員在2014年要求重新設計他們的工作服 - 說裙子太暴露，可能會引起肥宅性騷擾
Ms Mak said the policy change "not only provides us one more option, but also
provides us with protection".
政策變化“不僅為我們提供了更多選擇，而且為我們提供了保護”
The airline said uniforms would be re-evaluated for crew working for both its
Cathay Pacific and Cathay Dragon carriers.
該航空公司表示，將為國泰和港龍的工作人員重新評估制服
"Just as we recognise it is important to provide our customers with more
choice, the same is also true for our colleagues," an airline spokesperson
said.
“正如我們認為為我們的客戶提供更多選擇是非常重要的，相對於我們的同事也是如此，
”,發言人如是說
