Two Sikh men in B.C. have filed a grievance against their employer after a new rule required all employees to wear a hard hat while on the job.It appears as though the company is doing what they can to accommodate the men... but it remains to be seen if even that is enough.
In B.C., helmets must be worn in any workplace where is potential for a head injury but employers must accommodate their workers.
Interfor says they are doing so, saying they found some jobs for the men in the receiving department.**********
But the men said they didn't know the details of any new job and it would have to be one where their faith was respected.
FROM THE COMMENTS:
"Strange how the Sikhs in India have no problem with helmets as pilots or solders in the armed forces. It's not even an issue with them."And... in counterpoint...
"Only in Trudeaupia is it a problem... and an artificial one at that based on the above facts."
"Jesus, Moses, Ramanand, and all great spiritual leaders wore turbans."*
"Sikhs have been part and parcel of the Canadian landscape for over 100 years, and they are as Canadian as Hockey, Maple Syrup, and the Rockie Mountains."
