I've seen it all - Hair discrimination

Easy lawsuits to win.  Can sue for just about anything there nowadays.

Former In-N-Out employee files $3M lawsuit alleging discrimination over hairstyle
https://www.khon2.com/news/national/former-in-n-out-employee-files-3m-lawsuit-alleging-discrimination-over-hairstyle/

Obeng stated that he braided his hair to comply with company policy, but management advised him to cut off his sideburns, which Obeng found “humiliating and discriminatory.”

The lawsuit states that In-N-Out violated the CROWN Act, which stands for Creating a Respectful and Open Workplace for Natural Hair. The California law prohibits employers from discriminating against employees based on their hairstyles and hair textures.

Can't find a picture or video of the 21-yr-old's "hairstyle".

I wonder if there's a reason for that?  Maybe it wouldn't help his case if the facts were made public along with his allegations?

I'll keep checking to see if one pops up, but normally they'd have his pic front and center if it helped his case.

California law.  Well, that just about sums it up.

He is a black man.  Some of their hair styles look like they haven't washed or brushed their hair for years.

I think a company has every right to ensure their employees look clean shaven, neat, and tidy.

Some hairdo's simply makes the person look dirty or un-hygienic.  And in my opinion, some of them (the hairdo's) really are.
