The great irony I find in this thread is the same people who supported the company who threatened to sack it's employee's if they smoked, and then began to deliberately discriminate against overweight staff are now against this.
When it is a private enterprise dictating the size its employee's are allowed to be, it is applauded by some people - "it's his company, he can do what he wants"
When it is a state dept, now it's terrible, now it is the nanny state, now it is an inexcusable attack on individual freedoms.
A policy that is unfair is unfair
A principle that an employler should not be allowed to discriminate against its employee's based on their physical appearance is a principle - it doesnt matter who the employer is.
