Los Angeles Employment Lawyer

The Sikh American Legal Defense and Education Fund has filed a class-action suit on behalf of a practicing Sikh musician whose job application was rejected by Walt Disney World Co. in 2006.

According to the lawsuit, Sukhbir Channa, a Sikh American, was told by Disney officials that he was not the right applicant for the job because he lacked the “Disney look.” Channa claims that the statement was an insulting reference to the turban which he is required to wear by his religion.

The suit seeks $1 million in damages and a court order forbidding Disney from discriminating against Sikh employees and applicants.
