Re: British Airways Christian employee Nadia Eweida wins case.

Mmmmm.....

I am glad she won it, as I thought BA were being petty, but it's strange that someone who brought a similar case lost.

Quote:
She took her case to the European Court of Human Rights after BA made her stop wearing a cross.

Judges ruled that the rights of three other Christians had not been violated by their employers.

The other cases involved nurse Shirley Chaplin, 57, whose employer also stopped her wearing necklaces with a cross, Gary McFarlane, 51 - a marriage counsellor fired after saying he might object to giving sex therapy advice to gay couples - and registrar Lillian Ladele, who was disciplined after she refused to conduct same-sex civil partnership ceremonies.

All four lost separate employment tribunals relating to their beliefs and made individual applications to the court, but their cases are being heard together.
I await the reaction some of our posters who think that the ECHR is the spawn of Satan to this ruling.
