DLR employee sent home for wearing muslim head covering

[Main Streeter]

Might want to let management know, and write a witness statement. If nothing else, at least they can try to pull the security tapes from that day. I would think that video evidence that she does not wear the headscarf on a daily basis would probably do quite a bit to make her lawyer and the press suddenly lose interest in this.

rat, never thought of this, well, I kind did but let it go. Will speak with my manager today. Thanks faithful rat. :)

So, what was the outcome of this? Win Lose or Draw?

In a way, she already won.

So at least in this case, the cap was already an optional part of the costume, and they made it clear that she can't take it off. So it would seem to me that Disney is accomodating their employees. And they need to figure out a way to ask prospective interns if they will be needing any costume alterations before they arrive at DLR.

I need to get the pics off my camera to illustrate this point. The girl who refused the alternative that Disney provided at DLR could move to Tokyo and work at Tokyo Disneysea in the Arabian Coast. I would offer that if I were Disney. "Here, move to Tokyo and we'll work on getting you a transfer to the Oriental Land Company and a job at Tokyo Disneysea!"
