NY Sikh, Muslim workers allowed religious headwear
The new York Metropolitan Authority has agreed to allow Sikh and Muslim workers to wear religious head coverings without agency logos attach. The decision comes after multiple lawsuits and almost ten years of policies. The policies began in 2003, when the MTA forbid workers from wearing religious head coverings in public view, later allowing them to be worn with an agency logo attached. Workers affected by the policy said that it was discriminatory and that the MTA was segregating them from other workers based on race. Workers said that they were happy with the MTA's decision to allow religious head coverings to be worn without logos.
