	BlackChampagne -- no longer new; improvement also in question.: Public Relations Friday, June 06, 2008 Public Relations A waitress in Canada shaved her head for a cancer charity fund raiser, to be in solidarity with a girlfriend who was fighting the disease, and got fired by her boss when she showed up to work with her Natalie Portman in V for Vendetta look. Needlessly to say, people are pretty much outraged at restaurant's actions, and though this limp article from the CBC doesn't get into anything interesting, I did laugh at this quote: Nathaniels owner and chef Dan Hilliard issued a statement late Thursday saying Fearnall did not advise him that she was planning to shave her head. "Mr. Hilliard had indicated that this is an employer-employee matter and such matters are not to be dealt with in the public," the statement said. Yeah, I imagine the owner is pretty eager not to have this matter dealt with in public. Can you say boycotts, picket lines, and bankruptcy? There's a bit more detailed article about it online from the local Owen Sound paper, and it says Baldie has standing offers to appear on just about every news program in Canada, and that she's been flooded with job offers and support from strangers. In defense of the restaurant, the article has quotes from other employees who say the owners are great and very understanding and supportive. They judged, probably correctly, that having a bald female waitress would put off some of their probably old, conservative clientele. What they didn't judge so accurately was the inevitable public reaction to this event, when/if the employee went public with the news. And now they're knee deep in it, with nothing to offer but pathetic pleas that this highly news worthy item not be on the news. Good luck with that one, eh?
