It's a single incident. Nothing wrong at all with asking you manager a question about the dress code. The ONLY thing that could be called an incident is submitting the petition.

Entitled interns fired for demanding dress code change at their employer

Forced? They can quit whenever they want.Forced labour for no pay sure sounds like slavery to me
The management did the right thing. Come to work dressed appropriately, do the work you're given, or work somewhere else.
It's akin to a recent immigrant to Canada pleading to change some of the laws of the land.
Which is precisely what I said. If a company can keep humming along while paying you 20K less, it will. It ain't rocket science, dammit. It's the mechanics of capitalism. They will pay the minimum required to get the job done. Not a fucking penny more.A company will pay what it takes to get the skills they need to keep the company humming along.

Nobody forces people to work for free. That goes for internships or volunteer work. In fact, probably only 1% of jobs out there don't pay anything.... which is odd since the government states minimum wage pay but somehow certain jobs are exempt from that..... but that's another issue.Forced labour for no pay sure sounds like slavery to me
If someone is desperate enough to take a $0 paying job because no other place out there wants to hire them and pay them $10/hr, they should look in the mirror and see the person at fault.

The idiot intern did NOT ask a question about the dress code, the idiot QUESTIONED the dress code.
If you need me to explain the difference, let me know.

I now see your POV FAST so I change my POV and agree with you half wayWRONG fuji

They are interns working for free and are allowed to make mistakes, indeed expected to make mistakes, and that is why they work for free
They should be reprimanded, not humiliated and confused and have their esteem destroyed by firing unless their is more intransigence on their part than I am reading into this story
A well written request for review of policy is not a demand for policy change , unless I am missing something here
As interns, they should have asked to have the policy explained to them not requested a change in a working environment they know nothing about
They made a mistake
CHEERS
You need to reread the thread, trying to comprehend it.WRONG fuji

There is only one instance of the dress code being questioned. I also don't see it as idiotic to ask questions. I see it as idiotic to be unable to answer questions.
The only people who need to be reprimanded here are those who are unable to explain the culture while purporting to be leaders of it.
No, they did not ask a question, they requested a change which is a naïve thing for a newbie to do in a work environment they know nothing about but they do not deserve to be fired IMHOYou need to reread the thread, trying to comprehend it.

I think there is more to this story such as managements version of events
