Nineteen-year-old Riham Osman, a Muslim from Herndon, Virginia, was reportedly fired on the job at Dulles International Airport by Air France in early June, after a supervisor had told her that her head scarf violated the company’s uniform policy.
Osman, who was hired to be a passenger service agent for Air France by an outside staffing agency named Aerotek, arrived for training on her first day with the company only to be pulled from her session by a supervisor who demanded she speak to the person who hired her at Aerotek.
After being notified about the situation, Aerotek stated that they were aware of Osman’s headscarf at the time of her hiring and had asked Air France to make an exception for her in their dress code policy.
