Worker allegedly 'fired for not wearing bra' sparks HR debate

An employee who claims she was fired for not wearing a bra to work has sparked a debate over what should and should not constitute workwear.

Kate Hannah, a barmaid at Bird and Beer in East Yorkshire, posted a comment on Facebook alleging she was let go from her role -The Daily Mail reports.

She wrote: “So I've just got home after being sacked from my job, for refusing to wear a bra. Yesterday an inappropriate sexual remark was made to me, by my manager’s brother, and in the presence of her. I felt uncomfortable, objectified and shocked that this had happened.

“Unfortunately, she saw fit to deal with the situation by telling me that I'm not allowed into work in future unless I'm wearing a bra. This was said to me in front of three other staff members and customers.”
