Religious Discrimination at Abercrombie and Fitch Co.?

  20 year old Hani Khan, a former stockroom worker is fired from her job over the telephone because Abercrombie and Fitch wouldn't let her wear hijab, the head cover traditionally worn by Muslim women. Khan says that, " Growing up in a country where a Bill of Rights gurantees freedom of speech and religion makes me feel upset.This case is about principles, the right to be able to express your religion freely and be able to work in this country." It is the latest employment discrimination charge. Most critics say the company has what they like to call a ''looky policy'' which they say has an image of mostly white, young,and athletic people. Abercrombrie compromises with Hani saying that her hijab has to be company colors. Even before this dispute, Abercrombie has had a history of racial discrimination including a federal classed action brought by African-American, Asian, and Hispanic/Latino employees that was settled in 2004 for 40 million dollars.The was forced to make changes to create a more diverse group of employees. The New Albany,Ohio.-based company still says that they don't tolerate discrimination."Abercrombie prides itself on requiring what it calls a natural classic American style. But there's nothing American about discriminating against someone because of their religion," said Araceli Martinez-Olguin, a lawyer with the Legal Aid Society-Employment Law Center.

As Seen On TV

                                                

 You know how when you see something on TV that you want to order and when your order finally comes you realize what you purchased isn't worth the money you spent? Well, you're not alone. This can happen to thousands of people. Companies may use false advertisement to get you to buy their product. This can be frustrating if you have saved up money trying to buy the product. Here are some tips to keep you and your friends from wasting your money:

• Read the reviews! You can see what people have to say about the product.
• Ask a friend! One of your friends may have already bought the product. Ask them if it works.
• Look carefully at the commercials! Do you notice anything different in the ads? For example one of my friends bought this plastic bug that was supposed to move on its own. When he ordered it he found out you had to pull a string. It may be hard to see these faults but look carefully.
• What you see isn't always what you get! When you see something on TV, you may not get what you ordered. Sometimes it's barely noticeable but sometimes you can easily tell the difference.
