> If my employer specifies a uniform, it's their obligation to provide one to 100% of their employees, not the 90% covered by the cheap "one size fits all" company they prefer to use.
Only if such clothes are reasonably commercially available — otherwise, they have a bonda fine business reason to discriminate in hiring, and may do so.
I think you’d find you also had a really hard time for suing if they just didn’t hire you on the basis of the uniforms they had not fitting.
So you seem factually incorrect about the height case.
> if you can't wear a "one size fits all" product, there's plenty of other options out there, and you're not potentially creating segregated neighborhoods, locking black people out of living near good jobs, etc..
This is again mistaken.
If you’re at the ends of the bell curve for height, you can’t reliably find work clothes through normal channels, and are thus unable to reliably signal your qualification for a white collar job.
The lack of height appropriate clothing impacts the ability of very tall or very short people to “dress for success”, and hence harms their chances of attaining the best jobs.
Your comments merely reflect your cis-height privilege and implicit heightism.
Further, it speaks to your implicit racism, because you view melanin as somehow biologically more meaningful than height.
Can you provide a citation for tall people being statistically less successful? All the research I've seen suggests height correlates positively with success.
