Sikhs Sue NY MTA Over Required Logo On Turbans

Five Sikhs employed by the New York Metropolitan Transit Authority filed a religious discrimination suit in US District Court in Brooklyn today, according to a report by Newsday. The five claim that they were ordered to wear MTA logos on their turbans, even though employees who wear other religious or secular headgear are not required to do so. Amardeep Singh, a lawyer for the men, said "It smacks of discrimination to create special rules for Sikhs and Muslims that don't apply to anyone else."
