'We have updated our uniform guidelines, effective today, to provide more freedom and flexibility in individual and gender expression,' the airline said in a statement on Monday.
Alaska Airlines announced that it has launched new, gender-neutral uniform guidelines for flight attendants.
The announcement comes after a 2021 allegation by an Alaska Airlines employee that the airline's uniform policy discriminated against employees whose gender expression does not fit the male and female dress codes, particularly nonbinary employees -- those whose gender identity falls outside the binary of"male" or"female."
"I don't want to be forced into a binary uniform that excludes me and leads to me being misgendered at work," Justin Wetherell, an Alaska Airlines flight attendant and flight attendant instructor based in Seattle, said in an ACLU statement at the time.
