5.1 EMAIL THAT INFORMS AND REQUESTS: DRESS CODE

5.1 EMAIL THAT INFORMS AND REQUESTS: DRESS CODE CONTROVERSY (OBJ. 1) As the Montreal-based director of Human Resources at Sensational, you have not had a good week. The national media recently reported the fact that Sensational - a leading women's fashion chain-has been taken before the Nova Scotia Human Rights Commission to defend against a claim by a young woman. The young woman recently applied for a job at a Halifax Sensational location and was told in a pre-interview with a manager that she'd never be hired if she wore her headdress to work. Citing the Commission's website claim that "It's against the law to fire an employee because he wears clothing that is required by his religion," the young woman lodged a complaint. 44 Head office in Vancouver has been in damage-control mode ever since. Your Task. Quickly realizing the effects the negative media reporting will have, you draft an email to all employees. The purpose of the email is to reaffirm that Sensational abides by and supports all Canadian human rights legislation and, at the same time, that employees should not talk to any media that may ask them for comments. You realize that these two messages are somewhat contradictory (one positive, one negative), but you feel time is of the essence.
