Sikh Transit Employee Protests Use Of His Photo

According to today's New York Sun, a Sikh employee of the New York Transit Authority is objecting to the use of his photo in a Transit Authority dress code bulletin. Trilok Arora is shown wearing an MTA logo on his turban, as required by Transit authority rules. However, Arora objects to having to do this and, with four other employees, last year filed suit to challenge the logo requirement. The Justice Department, which is also suing to challenge the MTA's dress code, has asked New York federal Magistrate Judge Marilyn Go to order the MTA to remove Arora's photo from the bulletin. Arora, 68, plans to retire in two years. Until then, he says he will wear his MTA logo only when a supervisor orders him to do so.
