Air France crew told to wear headscarves in Tehran

A number of female Air France cabin crew are resisting an airline ruling that they should wear a headscarf while in Tehran, when flights to the Iranian capital resume on April 17, a union representative told AFP on Saturday.

"Every day we have calls from worried female cabin crew who tell us that they do not want to wear the headscarf," Christophe Pillet of the SNPNC union told the news agency. The union is asking Air France management to make it a voluntary measure.
