Abercrombie & Fitch Co. is being sued for wrongful termination after a stockroom employee was fired for wearing a hijab.  The lawsuit was filed by a former female employee who says she was told she could wear the traditional Muslim headscarf when she was hired.

The 20-year old woman had been working at Abercrombie's Hollister Co. store in the Hillsdale Mall in San Mateo, California for four months when a district manager and human resources manager for the store asked her not to wear her hijab while working.  The former employee refused to do so and was suspended before being fired.

Abercrombie & Fitch Co. has had two similar lawsuits filed against it by women who argued that the store refused to hire them for wearing hijabs.
