Good Luck.
Male train drivers Sweden have come with a novel way staying cool the summer heat their company banned the wearing of shorts. The men are instead wearing skirts to work as they do not appear the list of banned clothing that forms the uniform code rail staff. The drivers' employers, the transportation company Arriva, instilled the ban shorts it took over operations January. Drivers had previously worn them for years when conditions got hot the summer. The mercury in the drivers' cabin can reach 35 degrees, which is ten degrees what the World Health Organisation deems to be a comfortable working environment.

Arriva's communications manager Tomas Hedenius told a local newspaper that the company did not mind men wearing skirts. He said: "Our thinking is that one should look decent and proper when representing Arriva and the present uniforms do that. If the man wants to wear a skirt, then that is OK." He added: "To tell them to do something else would be discrimination." Driver Martin Akersten said his passengers didn't seem to have any problems his uniform. He said: “ course people stare you a little when you are the platform, but you just have to put with it….So far no-one has said anything." He added: "I don't mind as it's more about comfort." Arriva is set to discuss its dress code again later this year.
