But would they ask a Sikh to remove his turbin?

Well that's the key, y'see? If you do it for the Allans, you have to do it for all, otherwise it's discriminatory. Which, of course, is why it won't amount to anything.

Provided that those rules do not violate the basic human rights to which we are all entitled.

An important distinction, I think. And - sadly - I'm with Monty on this one.

There's no human rights that mean you're allowed to dress as you please on someone else's dollar, I'm afraid.

What human rights? The right to wear what you want or the employers right to set what you wear??

[IUFG]

Wrong, imo.

A policy can now legally ban ALL political, philosophical or religious signs, m.

including your yarmulke

But it presumably cannot allow some and ban others?
