The question has gained international attention, and is currently being raised by a group of female workers in Israel. El Al airlines has a new dress code whereby all female flight attendants have to wear high heels until passengers are boarded and seated.

Under an old policy, El Al female flight attendants were required to wear high heels at the airport, but could change into flats on the plane before passenger boarding. Now El Al wants them to stay in high heels throughout the boarding process.

El Al says the directive to wear “presentable shoes” is standard in aviation worldwide, but the workers union of El Al instructed its female flight attendants Tuesday to ignore the new directive.

The union said the airline’s stance was “aggressive” and that the policy would impact the flight attendants’ safety and health. Female Israeli lawmakers and a women’s group have called on El Al to dump the policy.

Back in Alberta, Gora says she’s read the account of a woman who says her doctor’s note was denied when she tried to get out of wearing high heels for her shift.
