TUC News

Regular readers will be interested to learn that the TUC today decided to draw a line in the sand - on the subject of stiletto heels.

The BBC reports that union members have voted to take a stand against the risks of wearing high heels in the workplace - in favour of more "sensible shoes".

Delegates at the TUC congress in Liverpool backed a motion requiring some employers to carry out risk assessments about workers' footwear.

Good for them - women across the UK will sleep more soundly tonight - safe in the knowledge that the TUC has its finger on the nation's pulse!

The motion stated that all firms which promote high heels should examine the risks that employees wearing them face and, where they are found to be hazardous, they should be replaced with sensible and comfortable shoes.

No sign yet of a serious debate on equal pay - but we live in hope, if not anticipation.
