Private companies in the European Union (EU) that prohibit employees from covering their heads with a headscarf while working will not disrespect religious freedom, as long as they do so in order to maintain a policy of neutrality. The decision, on an issue that has permeated the European public debate for years, was taken this Thursday (15) by the Court of Justice of the EU.
The court analyzed two similar cases filed by German courts, which called for a more specific direction from the bloc on the issue. At home, a babysitter of disabled children in Hamburg and a pharmacy cashier in Mueller were forbidden by their employers to wear the hijab, an Islamic veil that covers their hair. They didn’t use it when they were hired, but they joined years later.
