Rejected petition Stop discriminating workers with dyed hair, allow dyed hair at all workplaces
Today I was sent home from my workplace because I had dyed my hair pink; I was told to come back to work when I had dyed my hair a natural colour. This is discrimation and is unfair, how does the colour of my hair affect my ability to work just like everyone else?
More details
Lots of employees are allowed to have tattoos, as they should do, but how is having a tattoo any different from having unnatural coloured hair?
This petition was rejected
Why was this petition rejected?
It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.
At the moment, dress codes are the responsibility of each individual employer, rather than the Government or Parliament.
You could start a new petition asking for a change in the law, so that - for example - employers would not be allowed to impose dress codes which dictate how their employees hair can look.
We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
