國(guó)泰航空廢除空姐只能穿裙子的規(guī)定

Female cabin crew at Cathay Pacific have won a battle to scrap a rule forcing them to wear skirts.

近日，國(guó)泰航空公司的女機(jī)組人員贏得了一場(chǎng)勝利，即廢除了強(qiáng)迫她們必須穿裙子的規(guī)定。

The Hong Kong airline has agreed flight attendants can choose to wear trousers, after intense union pressure.

受到來(lái)自工會(huì)的壓力后，該香港航空公司同意，乘務(wù)員可以選擇穿長(zhǎng)褲。

Some crew had complained that wearing short skirts had made them feel uncomfortable -- especially when putting bags in overhead lockers or taking public transport to and from work.

一些工作人員抱怨稱，穿短裙讓她們感到不舒服--特別是在高架儲(chǔ)物柜里放行李袋或著在上下班時(shí)間乘坐公共交通的時(shí)候。

But change will not happen until Cathay next refreshes its staff uniforms. That could take three years, according to unions.

但直到航空公司下一次更新員工制服之后，這一變化才會(huì)實(shí)施。工會(huì)表示，這可能需要三年的時(shí)間。

"We welcome and appreciate the company's decision on giving us an option in choosing
uniforms," said Pauline Mak, vice chair of the Hong Kong Dragon Airlines Flight Attendants Association.

香港港龍空勤人員協(xié)會(huì)副主席麥寶玲表示：“我們歡迎并感激公司讓我們可以選擇制服的這一決定。”

The skirts-only rule has been in place since the airline was founded in 1946 -- despite a growing backlash which appears to have gained even more momentum during the Me Too movement.

自從該航空公司于1946年成立以來(lái)，穿裙子的規(guī)定就一直存在，但是#MeToo這一運(yùn)動(dòng)使得對(duì)該規(guī)定的抗議越來(lái)越強(qiáng)烈。

Ms Mak said the policy change "not only provides us one more option, but also provides us with protection".

麥寶玲女士稱，該政策變化“不僅為我們提供了更多選擇，而且為我們提供了保護(hù)”。

The airline said uniforms would be re-evaluated for crew working for both its Cathay Pacificand Cathay Dragon carriers.

該航空公司表示，將為國(guó)泰航空和港龍航空的工作人員重新評(píng)估制服。
