Yeah, I was thinking the same thing as SE. They can't force you to cut 'em. Then again, there's nothing stopping them from making up a different excuse to fire you :\. Kinda a crappy situation... personally I'd quit and find someone more worth your skills and work ethic.

a lot of places do not "need" a reason to fire you anymore, when you go in you sign papers allowing them to let you go w/ no reason and you cannot place grievances or anything so if they say " cut your dreads or you're gone" well you're gone unless you do so, i'm sure you can ask any hair salon or barbershop etc...where you can donate and most will do it for you!

It is true; most places where you sign an application have a little disclaimer stating that they can basically fire you with or without reason. It sucks but if i was an employer i would want the same power to do so. I am sorry you had to do that though man.
yah a lot of states are called "right to work states" and in the employment contract, it says you can be terminated at any time for any reason with or without prior notice. check to see if your state is one. once i worked at a call center for a few months and i went into work one day and my logins didnt work anymore, and i asked the manager and she checked the computer and she said i had been terminated the previous day and i had no notice.

it all started when one of the franchise owners came back from vacation first it was the loose hair so i bought a due rag like the asst manager recomended then things were fine, so i thought. then it was the flap on the back so i got all my loose hairs trimed and tuck the flap under my hat. i had people askin if i cut them they where so conceled. then the gm comes to me an says hes sorry but u gotta make the choice, cause the owner signs my checks so it was up to me so i road it out then he asked me what i was gonna do but he did offer me a raise to cut them that was mine and his deal to keep me there
