This woman is a liar. If you read the original thread in the Edmonton sub where she first showed up to air out her dirty laundry (pun intended), an employee of the dealership showed up and told the true story. She wasnt fired for the dress code violation, but for the abusive hissy fit she threw at one of the senior managers when she went to confront him about it.
File a human rights complaint against them. It is easy and costs nothing. Go to the Alberta human rights website and on the right hand side there is a link to the complaint form.
The employer lost the moment they said "it made the male coworkers uncomfortable". They are just retarded and opened themselves up for a lawsuit. All they had to do is to say "skintight clothes are not allowed" and that's it.
I work in HR. Couple of things come to mind:
Human Rights violation? That's a bit of a stretch. I'm not exactly sure
what "human right" of hers she feels is violated...other than "they fired me because
I'm an attractive woman" (which...I think is the angle they're going for in the article...)
Where I think she does have a case is, she could probably argue wrongful dismissal. Even though she was on probation, it can still be founded that there was really no justification for termination - or the 'termination" won't hold any water. (You're supposed to prove that you've at least given the employee a chance to correct their behaviour...meaning princess here, if the story is true - could've listened to what her supervisors were saying an maybe just changed her outfit...)
Finally...the part that I'm going to stick to: there is probably a lot more to this story than we're being led on to believe...y'know...while a lot of companies and managers aren't the brightest people, there usually is enough smarts to know that stupid decisions without any backing can be expensive lawsuits.
Edit: and because I'm getting to be an old, jaded, cynical asshole...once again...I'm confident that I'm right in this situation

Caitlin should really return that 10 year olds training bra and shirt asap...
She will win.
Of course she will. The employer failed to write her up for it.
