So, to be clear, you are undressing - and by that I mean down to underwear - in front of colleagues of the opposite sex? In which case no, that isn't acceptable. Why cannot people of opposite sexes change at different times - it surely only takes minutes? Why not change before coming to work? What discussions have you had with the employer about this, and have you proposed solutions? Because if there isn't room to put in changing rooms, demanding one isn't really going to get you  very far - so what other solutions are there? 

Sorry for the delay in responding.  Yes, we have to undress down to underwear in front of colleagues of the opposite sex.  We work on a shift basis, so everyone needs to use the room at the same time, and sometimes there's someone in the room on their break anyway, so can't really ask them to leave (although some staff do wait outside to give privacy)

That can cover a multitude of sins. Do you have to strip naked? Or just put a jacket over your clothes? In mixed sex company? With no curtains or what?

 

On a very basic level, yes, changing in a room (whatever it is called the rest of the time) which is private and not mixed gender would probably be ok. 

 

What is your objection to doing so? 

No, I don't have to strip naked!  Have to take my clothes off to put my uniform on - but not completely naked! In mixed sex company (unless no one else happens to be in there), and there are no curtains

My objection is having to undress in front of co workers!

Thanks for your quick response!  I work in a restaurant, and basically just have to change into uniform.

Does my employer have to provide a proper changing room at work?  We currently have to get changed in the staff room, which isn't very private!  We have brought it up, but they say there isn't any room anywhere to put a changing room
