Fla. city to workers: Wear underwear, deodorant

Thu Jun 18, 9:13 pm ET
BROOKSVILLE, Fla. – A Florida city is cleaning up with a new dress code that requires city workers to wear underwear and use deodorant. The city council in Brooksville north of Tampa recently approved a dress code that instructs employees to observe "strict personal hygiene."
It also prohibits exposed underwear, clothing with foul language, "sexually provocative" clothes and piercings anywhere except the ears. Repeat offenders can be fired. The city council pproved the dress code 4-1 as part of a wider effort to update existing policies and ordinances. The one vote in opposition came from Mayor Joe Bernadini. He said the underwear edict "takes away freedom of choice."
