Montreal Taxi Drivers Planning To Sue City For The Right To Wear Black Jeans

The Canadian Press, 06 Sep, 2016 01:03 PM
    MONTREAL — A group of Montreal taxi drivers is taking the city to court over the right to wear black jeans on the job.
     
    Drivers say they will file a motion in court in the coming days seeking to annul a new dress code bylaw, which requires them to wear long, black pants and look clean and proper.
     
    Drivers say inspectors have been handing out $174 fines to anyone caught wearing black jeans. 
     
    Mouhcine El Meliani, a cabbie who is one of the plaintiffs, says city taxi inspectors are arrogant and violating the bylaw.
     
    Montreal taxi bureau spokeswoman Marie-Helene Giguere wouldn't comment on the specific case but said drivers are able to to go to municipal court to appeal any tickets they receive.
