Question

The New City council recently passed an ordinance revising the hiring criteria for public transportation workers. The criteria apply to those who operate and maintain public transportation equipment, but not to those on the City’s Public Transportation Board, which sets policy for the transit system. One criterion is that transportation employees be United States citizens. The council defended the citizenship requirement as serving the city’s interest in having workers of undivided loyalty. Mark Sheehan, a permanent resident of the United States, sued New City on the constitutionality of the new ordinance. What is the likely outcome?

Explanation / Answer

As the New City council wants to guard the city's interest by hiring US citizens in the management and administrative levels, it will be absorbed by the court and petition will be rejected.

Moreover, council doesn't restrict hiring of other country citizens in the City's Public Transportation Board. Therefore Mark Sheehan's petition will be rejected by the court.
