United States Equal Employment Opportunity Commission v. Chipotle Services, LLC

This is a lawsuit filed by the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) against Chipotle Services, LLC. The plaintiff, Areej Saifan, a Muslim woman and former employee of Chipotle, alleges religious harassment and retaliation in violation of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and Title I of the Civil Rights Act of 1991. Saifan claims that her supervisor repeatedly harassed her because of her religion, demanding that she remove her hijab and show him her hair. Despite Saifan's objections, the supervisor ultimately grabbed and partially removed her hijab, exposing her hair. The harassment, along with the defendant's failure to address it, led to Saifan's constructive discharge. Additionally, the defendant retaliated against Saifan for complaining about the harassment by failing to schedule her for work. The EEOC seeks injunctive relief, backpay, compensatory and punitive damages, and a jury trial.

X Social Media, which has held the trademark for its name since 2016, asserts that this rebranding has negatively impacted its revenue. The firm is not only seeking a court injunction to prohibit X Corp from using the "X" in its name but also demands unspecified financial compensation for the alleged damages.
