They Almost Cut My Hair
The Massachusetts high-court, a.k.a.The Supreme Judicial Court of Massachusetts, has offered another opinion, so hold on.
The court ruled that a Jiffy-Lube owner had no right to enforce a dress-code on its employees, as this code offered no accommodation to a Rastafarian employee. The Rastafarian faith urges followers to let their hair grow unbridled. Apparently the long, matted strands called dreadlocks to express a oneness with nature.
More importantly, the court ruled that the Jiffy-Lube owner can be sued over enforcement of its policy.
I guess that means Manny can now play for the Yankees withot fear of cutting his dreadlocks. Too bad Johnny Damon was not a Rasta-man.
Expect a flood of new religions to arise, each with their own set of rules which employers must accomodate (the New Age Flip-Floppers, the Exposed Belly-ists…. and on.. and on….)
