'Bullied and violated' worker dismissed over 'man bun' hairstyle

A former British Airways (BA) worker claims that he was sacked for his man bun, a decision which left him feeling ‘bullied’ and ‘violated’, ITV news reports.

Sid Ouared tells ITV in an interview: “They pretty much dismissed me on the claims my hair is like a girls’ hair. They said that my hair doesn’t confirm with uniform standards, despite the fact that there are thousands of female BA staff with the exact same hairstyle.”
