Pro- It deters from weird dressers and otherwise inappropriate attaire. People look the same and you can tell who the employees are. \n\nCons- not all people look good in a uniform. In a business setting they do not look professional.

it really depends on the store you work for and what your manager is like. the only thing i would consider strict is the "all black" dress code. in my store this was taken very seriously so make sure what you're wearing is professional and black-not navy, dark brown-but black. i was a merchandiser so i didnt deal directly with customers often but i heard they can make things difficult sometimes as they are very demanding. good luck!

I work in education. I see children dressed in the latest fashion , designer clothes and expensive jewlrey. i see other children in clothes that are old and tattered. The parents of the poorly dressed kids can't afford expensive clothes and their children usually stay on the sidelines,feel inferior and are made fun of by the other children. This happens in all age groups. If there was a uniform all would be equal and this would be one less stress kids wouldn't have to deal with. The uniform could be as simple as an inexpensive pair of jeans and a tee shirt.

I agree. It add the discipline to the kids, add a sense of united and eliminated the difference between kids. It also make you look good, feel good and feel young.\nBesides, if the uniform is cute/cool, doesn't it make a good memories when you're older?

For the employer, there aren't any pros.  Employers are much better off bargaining with individual employees.  For the employees, collective bargaining gives the employees power to bargain for wages, benefits, and working conditions.  The pros are better wages, benefits, and working conditions than they would have otherwise.  For the employees, the con is having to pay union dues.

I believe that a "light" uniform policy should be used.  Example:  a polo shirt with a school logo or mascot on the pocket, but still let them choose their pants.  This way, students are still able to express their creativity, and the school can still keep tabs on students easily because they'd all be wearing the same shirt.  It's the only option that benefits both parties and makes a decent compromise.

They Would look stupid sitting on the bench Naked ...\n\nOk, here goes - I do believe it is a tradition thing - back in the day managers also played as well. From a practical standpoint baseball is played outdoors on a field with dirt as a component, in the summer so I do not think a suit would hold up very well. \n\nI would not be surprised however to see a shift in the not so distant future to managers and coaches wearing co-ordinated and officially licensed MLB gear like their counterparts in the NFL do. The reason for this shift would of course be money. Reebok, Addidas, Nike and whoever would compete to be the licensee for offical MLB dugout clothing. This would then also allow this gear to be sold and marketed to the generall public as such with MLB getting a small cut I'm sure.\n\nJust my opinion

The advantages to having uniforms at school are 1.) you can cut down on laundry cost. 2.) having to not buy school clothes is a great cost saving for large and low income families. 3.) time savings for single and working parents as you don't have to shop as much or spend time picking out clothes for your children to wear. 4.) allows for children to feel equal and may help their self esteem issues by not having to feel as if their clothing is up to par with the rest of the students. \n\nSome disadvantages are 1.) takes away from the students individualism and creativity. and 2.) The wounds created by teasing can be greater as the easiest thing to make fun of (a child's clothes) is taken away. \n\nI went to private school all through elementary and had the option of going to public school for high school. After the novelty of not having to wear a uniform wore off, I wished I could go back to wearing uniforms and not have to pick out clothes every day or have to go back to school shopping for clothes and supplies. Also, in high school, I had to buy my own clothes, uniforms would have been much cheaper,

I think a uniform is more fair practice. It puts everyone on an equal playing field by removing the quest of designer clothes to be popular. Kids are at school to learn, not for a fashion show. (Yikes I just quoted the Fresh Prince of BelAir)

Give your employees higher salaries that should do it(+ Bonus +Leave allowance).\nand if you have a dress code (Ties and all) just cancel it.

I would prefer a uniform at work because then I wouldn't have to decide what to wear every day and I wouldn't have to spend my own money on boring work clothes!

If we are talking about public schools, I don't believe a madatory uniform is right.\n\nFor private schools, it is acceptable.

I guess that depends on the worker themselves..but if I remember, the pizza hut uniforms look better...

The standard arguments are that they  reduce social friction,\nsave money, make it easier to identify students and non students, help establish a studious atmosphere, increase school spirit and focus more attention on education.\nI know you asked for positive arguments  but I'd like to share my experiences.\n My experience with public schools that required uniforms was that  none of these  arguments actually  held up in real use  over time. Social friction etc. still occurs, We found that the  Uniforms were so poorly made that they tore and  wore out  in a  very short  time even  before being outgrown which happened 3 or 4 times in a school year.  Uniforms are only available in a limited range of sizes,  small and large children had extreme difficulty finding uniforms.  They were so uncomfortable that  many children could not study.\n The local schools still have uniform requirements and originally there was almost 100% compliance now  8 years after  instituting mandated  uniforms  over 80% of students get waivers and wear  regular clothing  only kindergartners and first graders  actually tend to wear the uniforms.

It just depends on that company's dress code policy. I would not wear any to the interview, but once you got the job try it. See what they tell you.

I'm not buying the "stifles creativity" arguments nor am I buying the "forces conformity" jag.  I believe that a uniform actually makes people work HARDER to stand out and be creative (ie: their physical image alone carries no weight).  I also believe that in life one needs to understand when the *appearance* of conforming is in their best interest (ask anyone in a successful career).  But a uniform does not mean conformation - at least it didn't to the slutty catholic school girls I used to date, smoke dope and drink with...\n\nI think uniforms are a great equalizer.
