Washington DC; April 3, 2009—The Sikh American Legal Defense and Education Fund (SALDEF), the oldest Sikh American civil rights and advocacy organization in the United States, requires information about Sikh job applicants, employees, and customers at Disney parks and stores.
If you are a Disney investor, please write to the company and urge them to modernize their dress code in collaboration with SALDEF to honor the diversity of American society and reduce the threat of costly litigation. In the case of Sikh Americans, it means that observant Sikhs should be able to wear their articles of faith in full view of the public. This lawsuit represents a golden opportunity for Disney to take a leadership position in the promotion of civil rights. It makes no business sense to defend an archaic dress code based on old-fashioned stereotypes.
Contact SALDEF:
- If you ever applied for a job at any of the Disney parks or stores, let us know
- If you ever were denied a job at any of the Disney parks or stores, let us know.
