Legal Question in Employment Law in Utah

In February of this year I discussed with

my manager that I intended to grow

dreadlocks.

She informed me that it should be fine

so long as they aren't "bright pink or too loud"

�as she put it. At the beginning of march I

�put them in. One week later I was called

into the general managers office to discuss

my dreads. During that meeting I had them

pulled back with my dread tube. He told me

to come back and let him see how

"presentable" I could make them.

So I did. And he said that it was fine an I

went back to work as usual. Directly after

the meeting they hired two people.

At the end of may I was called in again at

which point I was told that " if my skin was

black or we live in jamica" my dreads would

be fine and that they were taking me off the

schedule until I want to look "normal"�

Also my manager in the meeting made it clear

To my general manager that the conversation

In which I approved my dreads "never happened"

Of course not right. Long story short.�

I did everything right and was a model employee,

I approved getting dreads before and after

and... I want to know if I can do something about it?
