Default British Airways air hostess 'made to feel like a prostitute' by workplace dress rules




An air hostess has claimed she was made to feel like a “prostitute” when she was asked to wear high heels and make-up at work.

Ruth Campion claimed at an MPs' inquiry into dress codes at work that she was required by British Airways to look “sexy” during her two year stint with the airline.

She said at the hearing yesterday: “For an employer to tell me that I need to do that in order for the business to have a certain image, it made me akin to being prostituted.”

Miss Campion said she felt “dehumanised” and “humiliated... to be made to specifically wear items of uniform that sexualised my appearance or enhanced my sexuality”.

The inquiry was set up after agency worker Nicola Thorp, 27, arrived for work at the office of a City accountancy firm in flat shoes and was sent home when she refused to wear stilettos.
