It is nothing to do with pc and evertyrhing to do with wearing a uniform of the employer's choice. Which is part of the job she is paid to do. |
Spot on Lou.
This 'controversy' is a press generated event. BA are trying to impose standards of dress; they don't want front of house employees with pierced eyebrows, big or ugly jewelry dangling around necks etc. To implent a fair and simple policy, they've said no jewelry dangling down th front of the uniform. If she keeps the cross inside her uniform it's a non-issue. AFAIK, there is nothing in the Holy Bible which says one has to wear a cross on the outside of one's clothing. I can't be 100% on this, 'cos I haven't actually read it
BA allow slightly different styles of dress when there is a genuine, and widely acknowledged, religous or cultural reason - eg turbans by Seikhs. There is no widely acknowledged need to wear a crucifix on the outside by any Christian sect I've heard of.
