SONYA is
heavily overweight and used to what she describes as ‘fatism’ from the general
public. But she hadn't expected her obesity to affect her career prospects. "I
knew the moment I turned up to my last job interview that my chances were
low," she says. " When I met my two interviewers, I knew I'd lost
immediately because of the way they looked at me. The thing that was most
upsetting was the fact that the telephone conversation I'd had with one of them
beforehand suggested I had all the skills and experience necessary and the
interview was just a formality." "Lookism" is the latest
discrimination to hit the workplace, according to the law firm, Eversheds. Victims
of the trend are judged by employers on aspects of their appearance ranging
from weight to clothing and from hairstyle to body piercing. Some are turned
down for jobs, others miss out on promotion. The latest research has revealed a
culture of appearance discrimination sweeping businesses across the. A
staggering 16% of Americans believe they had been discriminated against because
of the way they look and 33% believe that those who are more physically
attractive are more likely to get promoted.

Discrimination
claims involving alleged lookism are surging in the US. In fact, there are only two
states of America
that have specific laws against appearance discrimination. In other states,
lawyers are turning to discrimination laws relating to issues like gender, race
and disability. So if someone is overweight because of a clinical problem, they
can claim disability discrimination. There are examples of issues already
arising in the UK
as well. A couple of years ago, Fitness First received widespread criticism after
a leaked email claimed that larger employees did not fit the firm's
image."  In the UK, we don't
have any laws against appearance discrimination, but Ms Harris believes it
won't be long before we do. "I think it's only a matter of time before
some kind of beauty bias legislation comes into play," she says. In the
meantime, victims of lookism are, like most Americans, relying on sex, race and
disability discrimination. Among the British who have been successful in an
indirect discrimination claim are Matthew Thompson, who last year argued that
he had suffered sexual discrimination because he was forced to wear a tie while
his female colleagues weren't, and a man who was made to cut his long hair by
his employers.
