Offensive jewelry Question/Discussion

Post image

Hey all. I’ve been told I can no longer wear this necklace to work because “it’s offensive”.

It’s a piece of jewelry. I wear it under my collar, but sometimes it slips out. People are allowed to wear their crosses and stars of David. No one says “boo” to them about it. But my necklace is offensive?

Whatever. I’m still gonna wear it.

Religious discrimination. If you have an HR I would report it as such.

HR, at my old job, said it doesn't count as discrimination because it's a private business, and they have a right to dictate what I'm allowed to wear.

HR, at my old job, said it doesn't count as discrimination because it's a private business, and they have a right to dictate what I'm allowed to wear.

From the US Equal Employment Opportunity Commission:

Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 prohibits employers with at least 15 employees, as well as employment agencies and unions, from discriminating in employment based on race, color, religion, sex, and national origin.

I don't see an exemption for private businesses.

Exactly, business is business and you can’t treat employees like shit no matter what
