Woman Takes BA To Court Over Cross

A woman employed at British Airways is taking court action against her employer for religious discrimination. The lady in question, Nadia Maseefbottom, has been ordered to remove the cross she has been wearing because it contravenes BA's dress code.

Mrs. Maseefbottom claims that other religions are allowed to express their beliefs, and says she should also be free to express her religious beliefs whilst at work.

BA have said that wearing a 6 foot by 4 foot wooden cross that weighs 82 kilos on her back is extreme, impractical and a potential health hazard. They claim it takes Mrs. Maseefbottom three hours to walk to the emergency exit.

The court case was due to start at 10 o'clock this morning, but was adjourned because Mrs. Maseefbottom couldn't fit into a taxi and had to walk to court. She should arrive there sometime next week.
