Let´s analyze these situations!

Let´s read these cases .please. 

John Humphiries aged 62, is a lorry driver who is proud of being well-dressed for work.  However, his employer told him that he must not come to work in a collar and tie to drive his lorry.  If he did so, he faced the sack .  When working, Mr Humphries, an ex-Royal Airforce man, wore dark blue trousers, a light blue shirt, and a red and grey striped tie. He felt he looked smart and impressed the customers. " If you present yourself properly, you look good and get respect." , he said.  Mr Humphries´employers were not impressed when he refused to give up his collar and tie. They wanted him to conform to the company´s new image of casual clothing such as T- shirts or sweat shirts.  They even threatened to dismiss him if he did not accept their new dress code.  Union officials advised him to accept the change and follow the company´s policy . He agreed.



 Yoshiaki Nishiura, a 25 year-old lorry driver from western Japan, was sacked because he dyed his hair brown.  (This is a popular fashion with a growing number of young Japanese).  Although he apologized  and dyed  it black again, he was still fired. His employer, Mr Yamago, believed that behaviour like Mr Nishiura´s undermined company discipline and corrupted morale.  He blamed it on American influence.  " We need drivers to maintain a professional appearance to make a good impression," he said. A Japanese journalist said, " Japanese firms expect all employees to look the same and think the same.  When you join a company, you sign away  your human rights."
Mr Nishiura is going to sue his employer for unfair dismissal
