Models appearing in shorts and bikinis in the window of the Coin department store in central Milan caused a stir over the weekend, with Italy's trade unions denouncing the mechanization of the human body, Reuters reports.

"Let's be clear, we're not against the sale, or a free-market economy, or against consumers. But we want to defend the decency of workers and the intelligence of customers," the union said in a statement Friday.

The models briefly disappeared from the windows but were back on view on Saturday, this time holding signs saying "Modeling is also a job." （點擊路透社網(wǎng)站查看原文）

???????工會在周五的一份聲明中稱：“我們的意思很清楚，我們不反對買賣，不反對自由市場經(jīng)濟，也不反對消費者。但我們想要捍衛(wèi)工人的尊嚴(yán)和消費者的智商。”

???????這些模特很快從櫥窗前消失，但周六又開始展示，而這次他們舉著一個牌子，上面寫著：“模特也是一種職業(yè)。”
