Not diverse enough?

Heathrow check-in worker Nadia Eweida was sent home after refusing to remove a crucifix, which allegedly breached BA's dress code.

This is despite the fact that BA makes exceptions for Muslim and Sikh minorities by allowing them to wear hijabs and turbans.

Under rules drawn up by BA's 'diversity team' and 'uniform committee', Sikh employees can even wear the traditional iron bangle - even though this would usually be classed as jewellery - while Muslim workers are also allowed prayer breaks during work time.

Now what about the Christian employees that BA employs, do they get special dispensations as well or are we not ‘diverse’ enough?
