A woman of the Sikh religious sect from India who allegedly suffered racial, religious and sexual harassment at her work place won a civil case against her former employers recently. After a three year legal battle Sukhbir Kaur, reached a settlement agreement with her former employers which also included a clause that forced them to change their employment policies.
The National Wholesale Liquidators (NWL) agreed to make changes to their employment policies that would rid the company of discrimination and pay monetary damages to Kaur and eight other victims of harassment worth $255,000.
Kaur alleged that her manager harassed her because she was a Sikh, a woman and an Indian. He told her on several occasions to remover her traditional turban because she would 'look sexier' without it.
