A binman whose bosses banned him from wearing a shorts on 'health and safety' grounds has completed his rounds - in a hi vis KILT.Lee Moran, 50, mounted his striking protest as temperatures soared above 25c (77f) after bosses at York City Council told him he had to remain covered up. See SWNS story SWLEbinman.The dad-of-three had campaigned to wear shorts for years in the height of summer but was always told that health and safety rules didn't permit it.But when Lee found out this wasn’t true, he claims his managers confessed they’d actually prevented binmen from wearing shorts to protect their 'public image'.Bizarrely, one manager did say that 'kilts' were permitted, so on Monday (June 11), he donned fluorescent orange kilt in protest at their cold-hearted policy.Lee said the response to his protest had been 'absolutely amazing' and he hoped to convince the council to change its approach before the temperatures rise next week.
