Jobcentre apologise to Jedi
A UK employment agency has apologised to a Jedi believer after kicking him out of a branch because he was wearing a hood.
Chris Jarvis, 31, said he was escorted from the Jobcentre branch in Southend, Essex, by security guards, The Sun newspaper reports.
Mr Jarvis is a member of the International Church of Jeddiim — based on the famous Star Wars films — whose doctrine states followers can wear hoods.
He filled out a complaint form and received a reply from the branch’s boss four days later.
“We are committed to provide a customer service which embraces diversity and respects customers’ religion,” manager Wendy Flewers said.
Mr Jarvis said he was “standing up for his beliefs”.
