I was banished to the stockroom, says disabled shop girl now suing
Abercrombie & Fitch for discrimination
A disabled law student is suing retailer Abercrombie & Fitch for
discrimination, claiming it made her work in a stockroom because her
prosthetic arm didn't fit its public image.

The reaction to BBC Children's program host Cerrie Burnell in February was
eerily similar. Does Abercrombie and Fitch feel that they were
given "permission" to react the way they did by the situation with Ms.
Burnell?
In the US, this would be a violation of the ADA. Does Britain have similar
legislation?

If an attractive young woman with an amputation is too "ugly" to work on
the retail floor of a major store, what does that tell the rest of the
British population with disabilities? Deri, your input is requested
