who else in here thinks that its totally irresponsible of british airways to give a worker unpaid leave for wearing a cross, while others can wear turbans and headscarfs and other religious apparel? sure, the company policy prohibits any uncovered jewerly regardless of whether its religious or not, but the only reason that hijabs, bangles, and turbans can be worn is that they cant conceal them. the employees (except pilots and sometimes cabin crew) arent allowed to wear headwear generally but they allow it if its religious. why cant this apply to jewelry IF it really is about jewelry? if the woman were to make a hat in the shape of a cross, would they ask her to take it off as well? after all, the other type of headwear arent always mandatory either. would BA allow someone to wear a headscarf in place of a company head article for religious tolerance?
