Muslims working for an Ariens manufacturing plant in Wisconsin have been told that they are no longer allowed to pray unless during the specified break time. However, this policy, which had been in place but unenforced for 25 years at the plant, there is a concern among Muslim employees that breaking to pray might result in being fired.
Any accusations of foul play or unfair treatment of Muslim employees would be void, as the company’s policy falls under the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission’s guidelines on fair treatment. This has not stopped Masjid Imam Hasan Abdi of Green Bay from admonishing the plant’s policy, as he voiced concern over what Muslim employees are expected to do if their break time doesn’t coincide with their designated prayer times.
Dan Ariens, CEO and chairman of the company, said the policy is being enforced in response to an unacceptable dip in policy. He also explained that non-Muslim members of the production teams felt uncomfortable about the breaks, as they didn’t feel it was fair to the rest of them.

no company is obligated to provide special break time for employees to pray. they dont do it for Jews or Christians so Muslims dont get it either. tell them deal with it or quit
If they can pray at work then so can I!
We should have freedom to keep company policies. People have to follow company policies or leave.
I sure as hell never got Christian TIME when I worked. So why are they thinking they need it.
These scum can go. Back to the toilet they came from

I’m glad I don’t have a buisness! I’d close the door before I let that happen !!
No one makes them work there
The Immigration and Nationality Act passed June 27, 1952 revised the laws relating to immigration, naturalization, and nationality for the United States. That act, which became Public Law 414, established both the law and the intent of Congress regarding the immigration of Aliens to the US and remains in effect today. Among the many issues it covers, one in particular, found in Chapter 2 Section 212, is the prohibition of entry to the US if the Alien belongs to an organization seeking to overthrow the government of the United States by “force, violence, or other unconstitutional means.” This, by its very definition, rules out Islamic immigration to the United States, but this law is being ignored by the White House.” —H.R. 13342; Pub.L. 414; 182 Stat. 66.
