When Jeffrey Thornton attended a job interview on the 1st of November with his locs, he didn’t expect what he was going to meet. An Employer allegedly told him to cut his hair, he called it a ‘deal breaker’ and sued. Thornton filed a lawsuit against Encore Group, LLC, this week, claiming that the company denied him employment when he refused to cut his hair, which he wears in locs; which violates the state’s (California) Crown Act. But the company calls it a ‘misunderstanding.’
