but it’s still not discrimination
If they are passing off male fit as unisex, then there's a chance it is.
But they’re not.
How do you know?
I wear them.
I wear them.
I wear them too, and I'm not so sure...
Maybe the OP's other half's uniform is from a different supplier. Either way, it sounds like their are issues with the implementation of the Core Ambulance Uniform. It would be interesting to see if the planned benefits materialise.
Maybe you’ve stretched them out of shape and a new pair would fit your other half better 🙂
All Wales NHS uniform for nurses is based on the same for male and female.
No zip on trousers or opening. No crotch for the old chap. You have to pull them down and sit to wee. You then either have to wear them low for your winky and get chub rub or pull them high and stuff your junk into one leg compartment.
Poor men.
Maybe the OP’s other half’s uniform is from a different supplier.
A lot things such as uniforms are done as a joint purchase between a group of trusts to negotiate better prices.
The problem is it’s cheap and therefore sizes and cuts are pretty poor.
I'm such a nerd that I looked up our policy (some of our staff wear scrubs and such) and it just says "Needs to be suitable" mleh, i'm most likely wrong, it's probs not discriminatory, still sucks though...
Whilst it might involve some discrimination (if the trousers are actually male versions) I don;'t really think you'd get anywhere trying to argue a case. Given the switch seems to have been due to cost saving measures I also doubt the company will want to back out the change (unless a very large percentage of people complain). Ultimately if she wants to carry on working there it's probably less hassle/quicker/simpler to just get them altered or maybe fund a properly fitting pair (how long do trousers last in her job)?
My wife is a nurse, oh how we laugh at the thought of a nurse getting dressed up in uniform for sexy fun nowadays....
She gets a TSO (trouser shaped object) for the bottom, and a tent for the top. Sorted.
You wonder hard it could really be to make something like a Ron Hill trackster in the right colour as an option. That's be dead comfy for working in.
