Bad call by the Supreme Court here. Abercrombie & Fitch sells clothing, so what their employees wear matters. So A&F should have the final say on attire.

Not really a bad call. The point is, if the company wants to retain this employee, she should be able to wear her religious garb.

That is not to say that the company must be forced to retain the employee. It's simply that if they do, they must accommodate the garb, just like a yarmulke or turban.

In Florida, I think any company can still terminate an employee without providing a reason, as long as there is no employment contract being breached.

Maybe there are different rules for corporations vs. proprietorships, etc.?

I really don't understand how any company could be forced to retain an employee against its better judgement...

I think AF will need to make a mandatory uniform-
and ask the employee if they have a problem with it-

Not sure if a company can do that—

just curious- can this woman work as a fire fighter?
or any number of jobs where you cannot have scarves
and loose clothing?- (I believe these occupations
make their uniforms mandatory)-

In Florida, I think any company can still terminate an employee without providing a reason, as long as there is no employment contract being breached.

But when the list of reasons an employer cannot fire an employee becomes longer and longer, there are more and more reasons a law suit can be brought.

You fired me because of my race, my gender, my religion, my sexual orientation, my age, and on and on.

Employers should be able to establish dress codes and other basic requirements, and if people have reasons to not meet those, they should seek employment elsewhere.
