What about the reports that they will be required to wear uniform, is this true? If it is are there any problems regarding the uniform they may well be expected to wear.....
It's not a uniform.
It's a quite strict, but in my opinion not unreasonable, dress code, which I believe the airport wanted.
PTS are not unreasonable, but do draw the line quite high.
The dress code is tailored white shirt (which must be tucked into trousers at all times), black trousers & black shoes.
Optional are black jumpers or pullovers & black tailored coat.
NO 'street gear', which includes, but is not limited to;
NO trainers, jeans, denim of any sort, lumberjack shirts or tops, tee shirts, polo shirts, multi-coloured shirts, baseball caps nor any other funky headgear, with the exception of headgear of a religious nature (which obviously can be worn).
NO parkas, anoraks, military coats or any other multi-coloured top coat, etc.
NO tracksuit tops or bottoms, shell-suits
On my first day I turned up in navy trousers, white shirt with blue stripes & white slip-on tennis trainers. I was allowed to work on that day only, in those clothes & the next day I wore what was required and what I had signed up to wear under the Code of Conduct.
A day or two later two other driver signing up.
One was wearing jeans, multi-coloured tee shirt & black shoes. He was not allowed to work, so went to ASDA down the road, bought a white shirt & black trousers & was back in the feeder rank corral within an hour ready to work.
The other driver had shorts on & was wearing old trainers & half a tee shirt. He too was not allowed to work dressed like that & came back the following day correctly attired & started working there.
It's working; drivers at the airport are starting to take a pride in their appearance & that can't be a bad thing.
