Chasidic man files suit against McDonald's for not hiring him due to 'no beard rule'

The lawsuit, filed on Wednesday, seeks the wages he would have earned for the three years he would have been employed.

In 2017, the EEOC assisted a Rastafarian winning $30,000 in a case against Disney World, after being fired for not cutting his dreadlocks, which he wore for religious reasons.

"Such alleged conduct violates Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which prohibits religious discrimination and requires employers to make reasonable accommodations to employees' sincerely held religious beliefs so long as this does not pose an undue hardship to the business," the EEOC stated.
