If he has to wear a tie, and there is no dress code for female employees, then he is being discriminated against, end of story.

Whether it's worth taking to a tribunal is another matter, and something only he can judge, but they will almost certainly rule in his favour.

Ditto

He is definatlely being discrimated against, particulary if women are allowed to wear jeans and t-shirts.

I went to a school where the uniform was at one point skirts or trousers for either sex as the uniform book described the official type of skirts and trousers.
Of course none of the boys wore skirts but a lot of the girls wore trousers. Then a new head master tried to ban girls wearing trousers. That upset a lot of people, one of the teachers even joked that it should make no difference if girls were wearing skirts or trousers and even jokily commented that boys could wear skirts if they wanted. The point is that rules should be equal.

Furthermore some neo-pagan celtic groups do not allow the wearing of ties as the tie goes all the way around the neck and can be seem to symbolise being lead by the neck / yoke(slavery etc). So again they could be seen to be risking claims of religous persicution.

I agree. The story doesn't give enough facts for my liking though, but hey.
