Attorneys received a victory in the Third Circuit Court of Appeals. In a 2-1 decision, the Court affirmed the grant of summary judgment in favor of our client, a company which ran a prison. The plaintiffs were a group of female Muslim employees who sued under Title VII for religious discrimination, based on a prison policy that outlawed the wearing of headgear by employees, including the Muslim headdress, the khimar, which the women wanted to wear. The Court agreed with the district court that it would be an undue hardship for the prison to permit the women to wear the khimars, in light of safety concerns and because of the prisons interest in preventing smuggling of contraband into the facility.
