This is a management/HR issue ----------- recently a female visitor wanted the pictures of naked girls removed from the cabin walls as the pictures were, in their opinion, inappropriate however the females [yep the pictures were put up by the females working at the site and not the males!] that put the pictures up were not happy and put them back up and threatened management with various discrimination and inequality laws as they said that their opinions were every bit as valid as anybody else's opinions etc. and the female visitor was well and truly 'talked to' by the female workers! what I am saying is they we need to agree with the right people present, not some behind the scenes committee, what is inappropriate before we act & we also need to ensure that if its not a H&S issue then H&S keeps well away from it my advice is to give this area to management to manage

I would risk saying that inappropriate behaviour depends on individual manners, rather than "cheapness" of the workforce or, for that matter, nationality. Don't tell me you've never met a well earning lout or a gentleman labourer ;) Besides, price depends on company's policy and if Eastern Europeans are paid less at work then others this falls into discrimination, doesn't it? From health and safety point of view, I have identical issues with Scots and Poles who work on our site. There have been no reports of "inappropriate" behaviour towards female workers though.

I certainly would not discriminate - give everyone, men, women, Eastern and Western European, African, American, black, white, yellow, red, gay and straight, etc the SAME talk. That way everyone knows the rules, no one can be victimised or claim they didn't understand.

Sorry for the delay in replying to all your answers. Thank you all, it has indeed been passed back to management as I suspected it was actioned to myself as a little bit of sideways manoeuvring. investigation is on going as we speak. again thanks for taking the time.
