Alaska Airlines has announced changes to its uniform policy, including the removal of limitations on nail paint, tattoos, and piercings, as well as the development of gender-neutral uniform items for flight attendants.
In a statement, the airline stated that the policy change reflected its desire to “offer more freedom and flexibility in individual and gender expression.” Employees will be able to wear personal pronoun pins with their uniform to guarantee they are not misgendered, and the titles of the airline’s uniform kits, such as “stewardess,” will be changed to emphasize on fit rather than gender identity.
“I know firsthand what it feels like not to be seen, heard or able to bring your authentic self to work,” James Thomas, director of diversity, equity and inclusion at Alaska Airlines, said in a news release announcing the policy update. “When I’ve experienced this, it didn’t feel great and honestly made it hard to come to work every day during those times, or to deliver my best work. Our employees, guests and communities we serve have my commitment we are going to keep listening and pushing ourselves to be better.”
The announcement comes nearly nine months after the airline was accused of discriminating against nonbinary and gender nonconforming employees.
Prior to the policy change, Alaska Airlines flight attendants were obliged to follow a strict set of “male” and “female” dress and grooming requirements that included hairdo, makeup, and jewelry.
The American Civil Liberties Union (ALCU) of Washington, where the airline is headquartered, wrote to the airline in June, claiming that the policy violated state nondiscrimination laws as well as Title IX of the 1964 Civil Rights Act.
The ACLU argued in its statement on behalf of Alaska Airlines employee Justin Wetherell, who is nonbinary, that “these strict, binary uniform standards are more than a simple annoyance.” “By forcing […]
They’re Trying to Shut Us Down
Over the last several months, I’ve lost count of how many times the powers-that-be have tried to shut us down. They’ve sent hackers at us, forcing us to take extreme measures on web security. They sent attorneys after us, but thankfully we’re not easily intimidated by baseless accusations or threats. They’ve even gone so far as to make physical threats. Those can actually be a bit worrisome but Remington has me covered.
For us to continue to deliver the truth that Americans need to read and hear, we ask you, our amazing audience, for financial assistance. We just launched a GiveSendGo page to help us pay the bills. It’s brand new so don’t be discouraged by the lack of donations there. It’s a funny reality that the fewer the donations that have been made, the less likely people are willing to donate to it. One would think this is counterintuitive, but sometimes people are skeptical because they think that perhaps there’s a reason others haven’t been donating. In our situation, we’re just getting started so please don’t be shy if you have the means to help.
Thank you and God bless!
