KEEPING THE KESH FLOW COMING!



The sikhs call their hair (beards, head hair, and other) "KESH"

American hygiene and Sikh hygiene rules clash with the Sikhs getting the $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ payout.

The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission in the year 2001 had filed at least six cases on behalf of Sikhs. Twice in 2000, Sikhs in America have won the right to work with their beard and hair intact.
Now it might have taken a little time for the payoff. The trouble for the rest of America, however, is that once you get a backlog of wins in the courts, it's a slippery slope for the rest of the population.

Here is how it pans out: Domino's pizza company--the second largest in the U.S.A.--lost its rights to choose not to hire those whom they view as problem employees. You see, Domino's believes that public perception as it relates to hygiene is important for their business. They lost their case in a court of law. This precedent means that ALL fast food companies must bow to the ruling and, if they DON'T hire sikhs who apply, they will surely be vulnerable to lawsuits. And furthermore, customers who make the choice to walk away from a server whom they consider to be non-hygienic, should look over their shoulders, lest they too will face a lawsuit claiming their choice was a racial slur against an individual, a culture--a religion!

In Durham, North Carolina, Mr. Singh netted $23,000 in a couple of weeks of bitching about his
religious discrimination feelings.

Then Mr. Singh, it's reported, got a bigger payout--NOW GET THIS--from the temporary job agency that got him a job.

His lawyer would not disclose the amount but it is reported to be much larger than the settlement from the company.

Wise up
