Sexist 'Men at Work' signs must be repainted

advertisement

All "Men at Work" road signs in a US city are to be repainted, after complaints they that discriminate against female construction staff.

Authorities in Atlanta, Georgia agreed to alter the signs following a campaign by the editor of a local women's magazine, who claimed they were sexist.

More than 50 "Men At Work" or "Men Working" warnings will be repainted to say "Workers Ahead" or just "Workers" at a cost of £11 ($22) per sign. The city will also ensure that all future signs it buys are gender neutral. The total cost of the alterations will exceed $1,000.
