British Airways Bans Woman over Cross

A British Airways employee who was banned from openly wearing a small Christian cross fought for her job at a meeting with airline management.Nadia Eweida, 55, a check-in worker, spoke of her dismay after managers insisted she remove or cover up her small cross. When Ms Eweida refused she was sent home on unpaid leave.
At an appeal hearing the committed Christian argued for her right to wear the symbol, claiming she was being discriminated against on religious grounds.
After the hearing, she said: „They are accepting of the turban and the hijab, which are both bigger than the cross. It is discriminatory because I do not have the chance to show my religious belief.“
