Menstruating Women in the Czech Republic Have it Rough

Bloody stupid idea. Period.

Prague - Czech labour inspectors convinced a retail chain to drop a plan that would have required women cashiers to wear red headbands when menstruating, a newspaper said on Thursday.

"We talked the firm out of it," government inspector Michal Ronin told the daily Mlada fronta Dnes. "They admitted it was stupid."

Officials with the unidentified retailer had reasoned that headbands were needed to identify women who need to use the restroom often because of their period, Ronin said.

The plan was never implemented, and several retail chains interviewed by the newspaper said they would never even consider such a rule for their cashiers.

The paper cited the plan as an example of alleged rampant harassment of workers in the Czech Republic. - Sapa-dpa
