It doesn't sound like a "reasonable instruction" to me. Make sure you have good representation if you want to fight it. After recent news articles about crucifix being banned I'm sure the nationals would make a real meal of this, especially where a food store is involved. Or are you already subject to a gagging clause!!
I'm already boycotting Morrison's food - beacause it's $hite. 
Would find it very hard for a total boycott though, as they're the only ones in the area that stock bottles of Stowford Press.
Seriously, fair play to you for standing your ground. Do you know of others who work for Morrisons who are allowed to wear different symbols, poss for religous reasons? Are the rules applied in an unbiased way?
Seeing a situation like this makes me realise that I wouldn't last 5 mins working for someone else - before a jumped-up, 12 year old 'manager' became the recipient of a good tvvatting.

Morrisons chief executive Dalton Philips issued a statement apologising for the way his company handled the situation.
Mr Philips said: “Quite simply we got the balance wrong.”
The chief executive said badges and bands were banned for food safety reasons and from now on the ban would only apply to staff preparing food.
He said: “Colleagues not preparing fresh food will now be able to wear a pin badge or bracelet to show their support for registered charities like Help for Heroes. So Adam can return to work and wear his poppy with pride.

of course not,the manager was probably following up a complaint by another worker who took offense?
few days off, full pay, what could be better

A bit of sunshine wouldn't go amiss..

I bet they'll find some excuse in the near future, to get rid of this employee, for the embarrassment. (they have caused themselves)
Maybe they're worried about bad publicity. Thank God we have a free press. Can you imagine what some companies, let alone the government, would get away with if we didn't?
