"Chipotle Faces Lawsuit for Alleged Hijab Incident at Kansas Location"

The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission has filed a lawsuit against Chipotle, accusing the restaurant chain of religious harassment and retaliation after a manager at a Kansas location forcibly removed an employee's hijab. The manager repeatedly asked the employee to show him her hair, despite her refusal, and eventually grabbed and partially removed her hijab. The lawsuit alleges that Chipotle violated federal civil rights law and seeks equal employment opportunities for employees of all religions and damages for the employee. Chipotle's chief corporate affairs officer stated that the company has a zero tolerance policy for discrimination and has terminated the employee involved.
