Employers allowed to ban headscarves at work, EU court rules
What do you think?
"Private businesses in Europe can forbid Muslim women who they employ from wearing headscarves if the ban is part of a policy of neutrality within the company and not a sign of prejudice against a particular religion, the European Court of Justice said Tuesday."
More information: "European companies may forbid staff from wearing Islamic headscarves and other visible religious symbols under certain conditions, the European Union's top court has ruled, setting off a storm of complaints from rights groups and religious leaders.
Such a ban does not constitute what Europe's high court calls "direct discrimination".
The ruling made by the European Court of Justice, the highest court in the 28-nation EU, was in response to two cases brought by a Belgian and a French woman, both fired for refusing to remove their headscarves."
