Only 14 states recognize the CROWN Act, which stands for 'creating a respectful and open world for natural hair.' California - where Thornton relocated to after getting strong recommendations from his East Coast references following being furloughed - was the first state to recognize the act as a law

[Trillian]

There are certain people to avoid hiring due to excessive lawsuits.

[ealgeone]

Uhhh.....isn’t all hair natural???

[WeaslesRippedMyFlesh]

Sounds justifiable.

[Don W]

Call me narrow-minded, but I find dreadlocks unpleasant to look at. Creepy and unsanitary as well.

It’s yucky enough on a Rastaman on the beach in Jamaica. Bringing me food, or selling me something? I’ll go elsewhere thank you.

I think the best foundation for a dress code at any company would be not to dress like a lunatic or a clown--unless the company is in the insanity business or the circus business.

But in all cases, the only workable code is to dress as your employer asks you to dress for work, or find a gig that meets your all-important style requirements.

Psycho.

[SamuraiScot]

the company is now saying it's a 'miscommunication.'

Now that's for sure. Their mistake was calling the guy back.

[Bellagio]

The business is private and can impose a dress code. The applicant is deranged to believe he’s being discriminated against. His hair is being discriminated against as not conforming to the employers dress code for a particular job or position.

If the employer says loose the dreadlocks to get the gig... you loose the hair or find employment elsewhere.

There is no lawsuit here. Just another idiot complaining like a child because he can’t get his way.

Plus he’s culturally appropriating Egyptian culture; women were wearing that hair style as far back as 1500BC.

[Allegra]

“…and] I'd be willing to trim my facial face.”

What?

[butlerweave]

Dreadlocks always look disgusting

[Who is John Galt?]

..."I wasn't prepared to be told I would need to cut my hair in order to comply with Encore standards,' he said.

Encore is now claiming it was a 'miscommunication' and 'maintaining a diverse and inclusive workspace' is a part of its 'core values.

Maybe Mr. Look-At-Me! would prefer to wear a hair net at work...

[Mean Daddy]

Bigger the gauge, the lower the wage.

[jonrick46]

Is this the Black man's brother?

[skr]

Not a fan of dreadlocks, but his are short and not particularly overwhelming as some I’ve seen.

[Hodar]

Nobody is forcing him to do anything.

A work contract is being suggested; and that work contract says the terms of the contract include grooming standards.

He has a choice, he can accept the work contract, with the terms, pay, benefits and duties described, and join that company’s workforce.

Or he can reject that contract, and look elsewhere.

When I hire, I look for a person who fits my TEAM, not a person who demands the TEAM adapt to him. I am part of that TEAM, and WWG1WGA.

[Ruy Dias de Bivar]

When working in the steel fabrication industry, aircraft and power plants, long hair and facial hair was forbidden. So were rings and loose sleeves.

Too much chance of getting these items caught in rotating equipment.

One of my favorite photos at that time was a severed finger and ring, a torn ligament. He caught it on something and ripped the finger off his hand.
Facial hair caused you face mask not to seal in dangerous atmospheres.

[NWFree]

I see them now with a flowerpot on their heads 🤪

I’m embarrassed for them

[Paal Gulli]

So the title to this thread is knowingly false.

Well okay then.

[Guenevere]

I so miss standards.....
....the hair...the tats on women.....etc.....
No standards
