Airport worker loses right to wear her cross

''in a statement BA said: "We have always maintained that our uniform policy did not discriminate against Christians and we are pleased that the tribunal's decision supports our position.''oh really then why not let her wear her cross openly,the thing is they are lying they are discriminating against christians.
"Our current policy allows symbols of faith to be worn openly and has been developed with multi-faith groups and our staff. Nadia Eweida has worked for us for eight years and continues to be a valued member of our staff." this is an outright bold-faced lie ,they wont allow her to wear her cross openly therefore they are liars plain and simple.lets just say i will never fly british airways until their anti-christian bigotry ends,and further more i call upon all christians across the world to boycott british airways until they change their policy and allow this women and others like her to wear religious jewelry openly,as they say power to the people.

its what you call talking out both sides of your mouth and hope no one notices that you are doing it,it would be laughable if it wasnt so sad and ignorant of them.they are what you call BUSTED dont you think.

I am a state worker and we are not permitted to wear crosses or star of david jewelry. However, many still do and it is not enforced. My understanding that is a federal policy as well?

I still dont get how wearing a hijab is ok and wearing a necklace is not ok.

me either,but that is whats taking place in our country today and we are sitting back and doing nothing about it.

What's the problem? The company changed its policy and allows her to wear her cross openly now.

Are you people just looking for stuff to get angry about?

You should spend more time on your reading comprehension ability, George. You completely dropped the ball on this one.

In our country? Are you a British citizen, George? Oh wait, did you fail to notice that this didn't happen in the United States?

This is rather sad.

From the article:

The company eventually changed their uniform policy and Miss Eweida returned to work in February 2007 and continues to be employed by the airline. She has been on rest days this week, but will return to work on Thursday wearing her cross.

because if it could happen there it can happen here,and if it can happen to her it can happen to me or any christian in this country,and very well could happen given the hostility towards christians these days.

What's all this about "ALL CHRISTIAN BROTHERS AND SISTERS"? The woman is trying to make money out of BA. She lost. However, she is selling her stories for various national newpapers for cash.
All in all, she is making a nice little bundle.

The christians in palestian are getting pasted by the jews for siding with the muslim. Nobody said a dammned thing. If and when they (media) do its a negative story where the muslim are beating up the christians.
