Two female cocktail waitresses filed complaints alleging sex discrimination after they were required to wear a new uniform that they considered sexist and revealing.
The complainants refused to wear the uniform and subsequently lost their employment.
The Board of Inquiry dismissed the complaints, finding that the uniform was consistent with commonly accepted social norms, was not unduly revealing, and that the waitresses were permitted to adapt it by wearing leotards and pinning the leg slits.
The Board concluded that the uniform requirement did not constitute discrimination on the basis of sex.
