Dreadlocks and cabin crew
Hi
I've joined here on the advice of a friend. I work as cabin crew for a large British airline (not BA).
I have recently been off for an extended period on maternity leave and during that time grew some lovely thick dreadlocks, celebrating by ethnic backgorund and culture.
However on return to work the company has said that the dreadlocks contravene their uniform policy as they are unclean and unhygienic.
I believe that this is discrimination against me being from afro carribean background and that employers had to ben over backwards to celebrate and acommodate diversity.
I am contemplating taking legal action but as I am not in a union I wondered if anyone here has any experience of this or similar issues?
Thanks
