Wonder if your company has a policy on diversity and sexual harrassment - your boss probably violated both if it does.

The link won't come up, even directly off the Utilikilts home page but in the May 2004 issue http://www.utilikilts.com/news/archive/05/04.pdf (maybe it'll work again) there's an article about a similar situation. The kilt guy had an attorney from his clan association write his boss a letter about what the clan association was gonna do legally about the kilt prohibition. Boss backed off.

Had this happen at my work and filed a grievance (most grievance policies say no retribution etc.) and I won that grievance. Scary to take on the boss but that's all bullies understand. Have to act fast. There may be a time limit as to how long after an event you can file your grievance.

And, when you leave for another position, consider interviewing kilted and getting the issue out of the way up front.

Seems we've had a number of rabble work kilted in bookstores. Its not a new thing.

Hang in.
