Virgin Rail Buys Bras For Its' Female Staff Members In Response To Skimpy Uniform Claim
The new uniform – due to launch this Wednesday – has upset female staff who say the red blouses fail to protect their modesty by being too "skimpy" and "revealing".
Virgin rail boss Sir Richard Branson has been forced to delay bringing in the new uniforms by three weeks after staff complained that the light-red blouses would allow male passengers to see dark bras being worn underneath.
He has offered female staff £20 vouchers to buy undergarments to cover up any embarrassment, but rail union TSSA is demanding the blouses be withdrawn and replaced with a new version.
Manuel Cortes, leader of the TSSA rail union, said: "Our female members are upset because they feel Sir Richard is cutting corners by asking them to wear flimsy blouses which are skimpy and they feel too revealing."
