As part of the settlement of a federal religious discrimination lawsuit, New York’s MTA has agreed to reverse an especially troubling requirement of religious workers.
The MTA will drop a policy requiring Muslim and Sikh transit workers slap the agency logo on their religious headgear, the Daily News has learned.
The Metropolitan Transportation Authority has tentatively agreed to revise its dress code to settle a federal lawsuit alleging it discriminated against workers who wore turbans and khimars, a Muslim head scarf, while on duty.
Requiring the use of religious garb for advertising space or corporate branding is pretty outrageous, and no solution to the challenges of accommodation.
