I recommend you take a break and treat yo self to massages! mimosas! fine leather goods!

Yeah, I'm kinda disappointed the writer didn't research, or even look into more than one source. Even the headline is wrong: the nurse was asked to either pin the necklace or switch to dress code policy-allowed jewelry - with whatever the hell symbol she wanted - and was switched to a desk position when she refused.…

I'm guessing they were waiting for a reason to suspend her, and she gave it by refusing to follow personnel policy and dress code. Unfortunately they didn't think ahead to how it would look when websites like Jez pick it up and don't do research and run headlines aimed at pageviews rather than facts, resulting in BA…

And they didn't cover it well or research it. One skim of an article in the Guardian says the employment tribunal decided not only did BA do nothing wrong, but that the woman was actually infringing upon others' religious freedoms by handing out literature and making remarks to a gay coworker that they could still be…

Actually, British Airways has a Christian Fellowship, which really indicates an acceptance of at least Christianity. And the BA Christian Fellowship didn't buy Eweida's claims either: [www.guardian.co.uk]

Thank you. I have emailed the author of the article to please present all the facts, but Jez doesn't seem to be interested in that kind of thing (truth over page views) anymore.

I think I may have posted this to you below, but this was not about a necklace for British Airways.

How free?

This story does not have all the facts -

From a Guardian article -

Almost all hospitals prohibit necklaces and dangly earrings for safety reasons.

It's necklaces that are the issue for the hospital - they can be grabbed, or transfer bacteria. Small earrings, rings, pins - she can have a cross on any of those.

Um, if Madonna was performing in a hospital where they ban necklaces for safety reasons...I'd side with the hospital. This isn't a religious issue, this is a not-following-policy issue.

It was a safety issue for the hospital. They have a ban on necklaces, not crosses, because patients can grab them and they can transfer bacteria. She is more than welcome to a pin or other cross-jewelry that follows guidelines.

But it keeps the vampires and the gays away!

Can we please have an update on this article clarifying that these women were never told to not wear these items? The airline asked that it be tucked into clothes. The hospital has a rule against things that patients can easily grab, like necklaces. She could have a cross pin or, as one commenter pointed out, paint a…

Oh yeah. I posted this above:
