✣Employers ‘can ban crosses and hijabs at work’
What happened? The european Court of Justice has ruled that employers have the right to ban employees from wearing religious symbols. It must be a general policy and employers must not target particular religions. The court said: “An internal rule of an undertaking which prohibits the visible wearing of any political, philosophical or religious sign does not constitute direct discrimination.” The case was brought by two Muslim women who had been sacked for wearing the hijab at work.
