New York, April 23(ANI): Bus drivers in France have decided to go on a strike because of their new close-fitting uniforms.
About 1,600 workers for RTM in Marseille are angry about not being consulted on the updated garments and are now planning a 24-hour walkout in June in protest, the New York Daily News reported.
A bus driver told La Provence, that he would not be wearing the uniform as they make them look like a car repair company worker.
He added that the shirts are alright, but the trousers are far too tight to be worn.
Union bosses have also objected to the new lavender color and the low quality of the garments.
The CGT transport union leader said that they have rejected the bottom half of the new uniform, which is of the same color that the French police wear.
He added that the employees don't want to wear a uniform chosen unilaterally by management, without consulting their clothing committee.
But designer Jonathan Charles has defended the new uniform, saying: "People are saying they look like clowns. Well, that was already the case with the old outfits." (ANI)
