A day after a group of Somali women were told to leave their work site because they would not follow a new company dress code, an organization is getting involved.
On Monday morning, about 10 Somali women working at Dianne’s Fine Desserts in Le Center were asked to change out of their full-length, loose fitting dresses because of safety concerns.
It marked the first day of a new company dress code after a woman’s long dress got stuck in a boot washer machine.
