Waitress Sues Her Boss for Making Her Wear a Bra
Source – A waitress is suing her former boss for a breach of human rights after he said she must wear a bra at work.
Christine Schell, 25, hasn’t worn a bra for three years for comfort and health reasons.
When she started working at Greenside Grill in the Osoyoos Golf Club in British Columbia, Canada, in June this year, customers complained about her being braless – prompting management to introduce a new dress code.
The code stated that ‘women must wear either a tank top or bra under their uniform shirt’. Ms Schell refused to sign and was subsequently fired, she claims.
She said she feels like she was forced out for refusing to go along with what she views as a sexist set of rules. Speaking to Global News she said: ‘I don’t think any other human being should be able to dictate another person’s undergarments.’
There’s so much toxic masculinity out there that I’ll probably catch all sorts of backlash for this. But I stand firmly with my sister Christine Schell in this fight. Because that is the kind of feminist I am. The kind who believes grown women have the right to do whatever they want with their own bodies.
If Christine wants to release the Osoyoos Two, what business is that of ours? If she’s more comfortable letting them swing free, her manager and all those cis customers who complained need to back the fuck off. If she chooses to go in and out of the walk-in freezer all shift, I want the government of British Columbia to keep their laws off her pokey nipples.
Ms. Schell has the right to be judged only by how good her service is. A country club server’s job is to get the orders right, keep the drinks coming and make sure there’s enough butter. And whether or not everyone can make out the outline of her areolae should have nothing to do with it.

So fight on, Christine Schell. When you win the right to go braless at work, you win a victory for all working people. Workers of the world, unite. And beat those unwanted C-cups into plowshares for us all.
