It this another example of overzealous management drawing unneeded attention to an already tense situation or is this just a big company trying to stand by its employee dress-code rules which are designed to meet it's public standards.  |

I always find it odd when charity bands are not allowed, unless its a safety measure. All the soldiers I know wear H4H wristbands without censure, but my BTP friend is not allowed to because some miscreant could use it to pull his arm. |

It depends on which part of morrisons then work in, food areas such as butchers, deli or even those stacking the fruit and veg etc shoukdnt have any jewellery or anything that could come off in the food. X |

That's terrible! A Company I worked for Sponsored HTH and we sold the wrist bands and all staff wore them. When it came to Poppy Day we were urged to wear them too xx |

I would like to think the lad would have known about the rules before he broke them though, otherwise it’s a bit OTT
But if he did know he was acting against the rules,,,surely then he's as much to blame... |

I spokesmen said
"It's all about food hygiene. The rules are the same in a restaurant kitchen as they are in a supermarket food preparation area."
I think on grounds of health and safety they can say these things.. You can not just not wear what you like, there are rules in place for a reason.
I really do not thing any shop would stop people doing stuff just because they were frighten of a muslin backlash. |

I think this is a case of a newspaper jumping on a story without all the facts being seen. Yet again it is all about the headlines and all about make people think the wrong thing, just so they can sell more newspapers..

If stacking shelves or on the tills it's wrong |

Everyone has an absolute right to wear such a badge (although the police may misuse S5 of the Public Order Aco to try to prevent you). Such a thing would be challengeable.
Morrison's managers, however, also have a right to say yes, you can wear it but no, not while you are an employee of Morrisons.
The managers might fear a mob of beheaders turning up |

Just read online that they called him into the office and asked him to remove it and he refused so they suspended him. It also says they have reviewed their policy and now registered charity bands are allowed in non fresh food areas. |

"I read it was a hoax - that there are anomalies in the letter that put into question its validity. Wouldn't surprise me to be honest - nothing surprises me in these crazy times. "
The headline is all that matters. Now, if he loses his job because of this (I would certainly consider discipline for posting the suspension letter) that's another headline. If he is then denied benefits as he has made himself intentionally jobless I wonder who the headlines will blame for that one? |

I just saw the letter on Facebook. The employee in question had removed his bracelet earlier in the day when asked but when asked to remove the pin badge he refused and walked away from his manager. Not a sensible thing to do. I personally don't think the type of pin badge has anything to do with this, retail employees sign a contract to adhere to a dress code, and managers are within their rights to enforce it. Yeah it sucks but that's how it is. |

I read a story the other day about a man getting stabbed in a bookies. No reference to his ethnicity or his religion in the piece. No mention of motive. Yet all the comments bar a handful were racist and against Muslims.
Go figure !!!
Propaganda bullshit out there and then people start believing anything without solid facts.
Im going to dance on the moon naked swinging a baton singing star spangled banner... If it hits the news I bet im wearing a hijab
Enough with it all now.. The more we comment the more fuel to this. |

This is true story that happened in bank while i was there a short while ago.
I was being served and next to me was lady wearing a jihab thin full face cover which whilst i do not agree with i respect the choice to wear one however the lady was withdrawing a substantial amount of cash as was i.
The cashier asked her for i d driving licence or anything with picture on she said and i quote i cannot show face in public because her religion forbids it. This i know to be incorrect as its a choice of the wearer. Cashier said she cannot have money without proving she is who she says. The manager intervened and was going to over rule the cashier when i and another lady said how come i show evidence along with everyone else
Eventually the lady was taken to a seperate room to show her face matched that on licence.
It is this type of thing that gets me. If i was wearing a balaclava i would have veen rightly refused. Rather than upsetting the lady tge manager was prepared to override rules because religion and race was raised.
Either we are all equal or not. |

Quite possibly, but not speaking up also has its problems - Then they came for me.
As to the hijab, I'm sure those throwing the pipe bombs at police in Belfast yesterday will end up being crazy hijab wearing Islamic radicals on some website somewhere soon.

A balaclava and burka/hijab are totally different!
She is/was wearing it as part of her religion! Not for some fashion statement or to be awkward!
She is not allowed to show her face in public in case a man sees it, which the bank should be aware of and had she explained as to why and was taken in a separate room what's the big deal?!

This is standard practice in banks - not a special case!
The right's of people to have their religious beliefs respected are part of company policy. The procedure to take a customer into a private room and be identified by a (female) member of staff is standard. No special treatment has been given here - just respect. |

TBH poppies are a very sincere remembrance symbol but should reflect the aniversary of the event.
Wearing H4H armbands should be free from all restriction and similar to Breast cancer bands be unprovocative. Unfortunately it is the perhaps small minority of radical muslims and perhaps less than 50% of Celtic fans who find both repulsive. |

Is a balaclava all of a sudden a piece of religious clothing then?
I think that's more akin to bank robbers in 'The Sweeney'..... |

Rules are rules, if one does not like them, he/she is free to work elsewhere IMHO.
Having worked in controlled environment for all my working life, it narks me when peeps flaunt the rules with regard to dress standards and procedures.
I'll tell anyone off for breaking the rules and not following procedures, and don't care who he/she may be.

Call me a cynic but as other posters have said all banks have a facility for this (private room and female member of staff), so I'm confused that neither the cashier nor manager knew this and slightly concerned that they would base a decision like that on the view of you and another customer. |

"Everyone has an absolute right to wear such a badge (although the police may misuse S5 of the Public Order Aco to try to prevent you). Such a thing would be challengeable.
Morrison's managers, however, also have a right to say yes, you can wear it but no, not while you are an employee of Morrisons.
The managers might fear a mob of beheaders turning up
you just cant help yourself can you..?

"This is true story that happened in bank while i was there a short while ago.
I was being served and next to me was lady wearing a jihab thin full face cover which whilst i do not agree with i respect the choice to wear one however the lady was withdrawing a substantial amount of cash as was i.
The cashier asked her for i d driving licence or anything with picture on she said and i quote i cannot show face in public because her religion forbids it. This i know to be incorrect as its a choice of the wearer. Cashier said she cannot have money without proving she is who she says. The manager intervened and was going to over rule the cashier when i and another lady said how come i show evidence along with everyone else
Eventually the lady was taken to a seperate room to show her face matched that on licence.

Is a balaclava all of a sudden a piece of religious clothing then?
I think that's more akin to bank robbers in 'The Sweeney'....."
Neither is the hijab or burka there is nothing in the Koran that says women must cover their face. |

Morrisons are awful to work for, I worked for them when I was a student! My mum still works for them now and the latest they have been told is to only dye their hair their natural colour!!!??? Personally I'd tell them to stick it.  |

There is nothing in the Bible about wearing a cross but we also have cases of Christians fighting for their right to wear a cross.

Why would you dye your hair its natural colour? Doesn't that defeat the object of hair dye? |

i have worked places where you are only allowed to dye your hair natural colours, not pillar box red or bogie green for instance as it isnt seen as very profssional |

I dont know what h4h is but obvs charity thing. im in food services and only allowed to wear wedding ring, but we have had muslim female workers come to help out and they have their piercings and bracelets on and say they wont take them off but they are made to, but sometimes they have a clothlike bracelet they wont take off which they say they are given at birth and are not allowed to remove. But in food services and i work in a school so they are really hot on the rules, it cannot be one rule for one or the other but they argue the toss. im not racist else wouldnt be doing the job, there are all cultures of kids attending the school |

I tend to think a lot of things that have happened since Lee was killed, have not been done not by Muslims or Blacks or little green men from outer space, but by people hoping to gain a reaction like this, let's not play into their hands this is what they want |

I agree, people will always find some excuse to hurt and kill over people. It is not the reglion that is at fault, it is the peoplev that use it as an excuse.
Christians have killed and displaced more people than any other religion, does not mean we need to start calling every Christian a murder and blame them for all the crimes do in the name of christianity |
