We have  anti-discrimination laws here in the states against age, race, gender and religion.  Employers have to make reasonable accomodations, however the employer has the right to dictate their own dress codes.. If you have ever been into an Abercrombie & Fitch..the hijab would scare most younger people.  I believe it would be a hardship to the image this brand portrays..It will be interesting to see how the court rules on this.

I agree this will be interesting.  I think, ultimately they must find in favor of the young girl.  Abercrombie is not a privately owned company.  It is a publically owned company that trades stocks on the NYSE.  Therefore, I believe that the workers must reflect the American population....some of which wear hijab.

A lot of stores have a dress code. and many clothing stores have as a dress code "wear the clothes of that store". The people working at the store actually wear the clothes of the reck (hiding the tags) and put them back again at the end of the day If you look around clothing stores, any one of them, you often see that the people working there reflect the style of that store. If the style of that store is sexy, you´ll see people wearing sexy clothes. In my local h&m there´s a guy working with loads of piercings and pink hair. I´m sure that he wouldn´t be able to find a job working for m & s women´s department. Seems logical to me, although it isn´t always fair.

A lot of stores in Holland do have people working there with headscarfs, but than the headscarf is also subject to a kind of "clothing code", to match the store.
