"Federal Suit Alleges Religious Harassment of Muslim Chipotle Employee Over Hijab"

Chipotle is facing a lawsuit filed by the US Equal Employment Opportunity Commission on behalf of a former Muslim employee who alleges she was subjected to religious harassment by her supervisor because she wore a hijab. The supervisor repeatedly pressured her to remove her hijab and even grabbed and yanked it, exposing her hair. Despite reporting the harassment, the employee claims that management failed to address the issue, leading her to resign. Chipotle has stated that they have a zero tolerance policy for discrimination and have terminated the employee in question. The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission is seeking a jury trial and appropriate compensation for the employee.

Chipotle sued by federal agency for religious harassment and hijab removal

The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) has filed a lawsuit against Chipotle, alleging that a teenage Muslim worker at a Kansas location faced religious harassment and retaliation. The worker claims that a manager repeatedly asked her to remove her hijab and forcibly removed part of it. Despite her complaints, Chipotle failed to take corrective action and retaliated against her by refusing to schedule her for additional shifts. The EEOC accuses Chipotle of violating Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which prohibits religious discrimination and retaliation. The agency is seeking monetary relief for the victim and an order to prevent future discrimination. Chipotle has stated that they have a zero-tolerance policy for discrimination and have terminated the employee involved.
