Christians Win Right To Wear Cross At Work, European Court Rules

Europe's highest court concluded Tuesday that British Airways discriminated against a clerk for demanding that she remove her cross necklace. At the same time, the court ruled that a person's right to express their religion wasn't absolute -- particularly if it led to the discrimination of gays and lesbians.

British Airways suspended Nadia Eweida in 2006 when she refused to comply with the uniform code that banned visible religious jewelry. The airline ultimately changed its policy, and allowed Eweida to return to work five months later. But Eweida, now 60, took her case to the courts.
