Yup, this is a Human rights complaint.
Good God.
Two Sikh sawmill workers have launched a complaint with the B.C. Human Rights Tribunal after they weren't allowed to work because they refused to wear hard hats over their turbans.

So you hate the Human Rights Commission because someone was able to file a complaint with them? They haven't even made a decision yet.
And reading the article, these guys have worked there for 19 years before this became an issue. Why is this an issue now? The company seem swilling to compromise (same pay plus backpay for a non-hard hat position - seems pretty darn fair to me).
It seems to me that there is more to this story, and making a knee-jerk reaction is foolish.
