Rejected

What the petition asks
Women in industries requiring PPE/specialist clothing are limited as many suppliers don't provide clothing for women's size 12 and under/under a size 6 shoe. This is discriminating and restricts performance by not having clothing that provides correct features such as pockets and durable fabric.
Industries effected:
Agriculture, Construction/Engineering, Energy/Utilities, Manufacturing, Distribution/Logistics/Transport, Sports & Leisure, Technology/Computing, Automotive, Technical Theatre & Live Performance, TV & Film,
