Kalwant Singh Sahota and Mander Singh Sohal gathered with dozens of supporters yesterday at the Ross Street Sikh temple to explain why they've launched a human-rights complaint against the lumber firm Interfor.
The two sawmill workers were told they could only continue working if they put hard hats over their turbans -- a move they say would be an insult to their Sikh religion.
