Another American company is being attacked this week over policies the liberal media and the Council on American Islamic Relations are calling insensitive and prejudice. The incident happened at a meat packing and distribution plant in Colorado, when nearly two hundred workers, most of them Muslim immigrants from Somalia, were fired for walking off the job to protest a workplace prayer dispute. The dispute was allegedly over changes made in the times they were allowed to take breaks in order to pray.
According to reports by the Denver Post, some workers later returned and were allowed to keep their jobs, but a majority stayed to protest in hopes of swaying management to reinstate a prayer schedule. A representative from the Council on American Islamic Relations or CAIR has taken the job of negotiating on behalf of the fired workers, claiming that they feel missing their prayer is “worse than losing their job”. It sounds like the problem just solved itself.

You’re there to work not prey. Do it on your own time like Christians, Judaism, etc
You should have went to school and prayed not to be so ignorant. It’s PRAY not PREY
Mickey Johanek you have freedom of religeon-you may worship who efer you want-even burger king-but you cannot disrupt the work place to practice your religeon – i cant leave my 3rd shift job to go to midnight mass- children cant pray in school-coaches cannot pray on the field with the players -it has to be on your own time
Here we go again the company will get sued for their interference in their f beliefs. I couldn’t read story. So have these men working for awhile and just decided to walk off for payer or was this their first day?? If they have been working then this is being backed up by someone maybe??? Or a money hungry lawyer.
They should be
No immigration without assimilation !
and they will continue to do so
Pray on your breaks lunch time. Aclamate to our country or get out.
