        Re: Not sure if this is the right place.

        Ok. Last week I was informed by management that I had made a 'racist' comment ,the complaint was made by another manager who wears a hijab.
        On the day in question she was wearing a green top which looked like drs hospital scrubs. I made the comment that she looks like a dr all in greenThat's the first. The second comment I made was regards to a conversation with a third member of staff in which he talks about his father confusing a lady in a head scarf with a nun due to his illness mess. I then said that it was a habit not a hijab! in the complaint it was noted I said both of these with a 'racist tone'
        I am awaiting response from my union. Any advice would be gratefully received.

        I do not know what a racist tone is and have never spoke out of term with regards race / religion.

          Okay I freely admit I am not a Muslim but my uncle and aunt are, I would assume that if you were to see a non Muslim person all in green that they looked like a doctor. As for the hijab not a habit comment, I don't see that as particularly racist.

          As to a racist tone, I'm not altogether sure what that means

            My response exactly. How could it be racists when simply naming two items of clothing.

              Re: Not sure if this is the right place.

              Oh dear. Have you had any other issues with this manager that might be behind making complaints about what appear ( on the surface) to be quite innocent comments ?

              Are you being asked to a disciplinary meeting or just been informed there has been a complaint and an investigation will take place ?

                This is maybe only the second time we have conversed with this person the previous time was several years ago. She will now be my new manager so I will have to work in the same place as her. I spoke to a manager in what was termed 'just a chat' where I explained my side but nothing was signed or written down.

                  Re: Not sure if this is the right place.

                  Where you informed whether the chat you had was part of any investigation into the complaint?

                    Not really no. He said it was 'a catch up'

                      From my perspective at the moment it would appear that no formal process has been started. If the "chat" was part of an investigation into the complaint you should have been formally notified.
