DAR AL HARB - U.S.A. - MINNESOTA: MOSLEMS HAVEN'T GIVEN UP ON THE TAXI JIHAD, NOW THEY ARE GOING TO SUE MV TRANSPORTATION FOR HARASSMENT

Twin Cities Muslim and East African Workers File Harassment Lawsuit Against MV Transportation
Wednesday January 10, 2:07 pm ET

MINNEAPOLIS, Jan. 10 /PRNewswire/ -- Nine current and former Twin Cities employees of MV Transportation today filed a lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the District of Minnesota, in Minneapolis, alleging that for over a year they suffered severe and constant harassment, abuse, and other discriminatory treatment on account of their status as immigrants and Muslims.

The plaintiffs are from the East African countries of Ethiopia, Eritrea, Sudan and Somalia; seven of the nine plaintiffs are Muslim. MV Transportation is based in Fairfield, Calif. and is in the business of securing nationwide public contracts to provide passenger transportation. MV claims it is the largest African-American private transportation contracting firm, and it touts itself as a company that embraces diversity. In Minnesota, MV Transportation provides transit services for the BE-Line in St. Paul under contract with the Metropolitan Council, and school bus transportation in Winona. The plaintiffs in the lawsuit are bus drivers.

The lawsuit alleges that the employees were subjected to denigration, physical assault, threats, and termination because of their national origin and religion. The employees also claim to have been denied promotions, training and other benefits of employment, and were denied religious accommodations.

Some of the offensive behavior against the workers included: calling immigrant employees "stupid" and "freak shows;" telling immigrant employees they "should remember this is America where they are immigrants and have no rights;" that they "are paid more than they deserve;" not allowing the employees to speak their native languages even when on break; and telling the immigrants "we built this country and now immigrants are enjoying it."

In addition, a manager read Bible passages at the Muslim employees, forced them to listen to loud Christian music, confiscated prayer rugs, and addressed male Muslim employees generically as "Mohammed." A manager also told the employees he would "fire the Somalis, one by one" and said he "was going to get rid of all the foreigners."

"It's astounding that a business that touts itself as a minority contractor treats its minority employees with such contempt," said M. William O'Brien of Miller-O'Brien, an attorney representing the plaintiffs.

Other complaints include immigrant employees being physically pushed and shoved, sworn at and called degrading names, and wrongfully denied safety bonuses. According to their Complaint, these immigrants repeatedly took their complaints about the hostile environment to company management but MV did nothing to protect them. Instead, the company engaged in retaliatory action that included termination.

"The animosity demonstrated by MV toward its immigrant employees is anathema to what this country stands for," said Kelly A. Jeanetta, another Miller-O'Brien attorney representing the plaintiffs.
