I am sure upon getting hired she was given a booklet about the company’s rules and regulations...She should re-read it again...Just cuz she changed, she shouldn't expect the company to change or bend their rules and regulations according to her change, wah...I am sure all those rules and regulations were in-place waaaaay before she started with them...I really don't think she'll win this...Besides, it is not like iney a high end professional job heysato, why doesn't she just quit and find another at the airport, wah...

 

And about her little story of not being able to receive Social Assitance while on unpaid leave is untrue, who is she kidding...As long as she has no other income and 1000's of dollars in savings, she is eligible to receive Social Assistance...Aniga yee sheekadaas ii keenin...

Compromise over Muslim woman's skirt

TheStar.com - GTA - Compromise over Muslim woman's skirt

 

November 21, 2007

THE CANADIAN PRESS

 

A compromise has been reached in the case of a Muslim woman suspended from her job at Pearson International Airport because of the length of her skirt.

 

Halima Muse was suspended in August from her job as a screener with a security firm for wearing a skirt longer than the knee-length one supplied with her uniform.

 

The Teamsters union says Garda has agreed to offer the 33-year-old woman a full-time administrative job in civilian attire at her previous salary and to pay her full back pay for the time she was suspended.

 

The union says Muse will remain in the new position until the Canadian Air Transport Security Authority completes a review of the uniform policy.

 

Muse, a practicing Muslim, wanted to conform with the Islamic dress code that requires clothes to cover the body except the face, hands and feet.

 

The Teamsters union and the Canadian Council on American-Islamic Relations said Monday that they filed a religious discrimination complaint on behalf of Muse.

Temporary solution because of media exposure....and it could very well be years before they actually change such a policy in their workplace.
