CIG began a dialogue with British Airways over claims made by a member of staff that she was prevented from wearing a visible symbol of her Christian faith and had been suspended when she refused to remove it.
CIG, alongside other faith investors, argued that, notwithstanding BA’s uniform policy, it was potentially discriminatory to prevent the wearing of a small cross, when more visible religious symbols from other faiths are allowed.
BA listened to our concerns and amended its uniform policy in light of conversations with faith investors, resulting in a suitable compromise whereby small crosses can now be worn visibly outside of the uniform.
