Beard Liberation Front says Labour Manifesto is Beard Friendly
The Beard Liberation Front, the informal network of beard wearers has said that the Labour General Election Manifesto takes important steps towards beard friendly policies.
The campaigners welcome in particular the commitment (page 62) to give statutory rights to equalities representatives at work.
These reps are in the frontline when it comes to employers discriminating against individuals for a wide range of reasons including appearance and facial hair.
Unlike in many US States it is mostly legal in the UK at the moment to discriminate at work or socially against someone because they have beard.
BLF Organiser Keith Flett said, the Manifesto is a first step but it gives real hope that Labour will be behind the challenge to Victorian attitudes in the workplace
