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.

So why did the employers hire them, hmmmm lower wages to be paid out no doubt….employee manuals work wonders…if its not in the manual its not aloud, so deal with it or quit…
F**k you and the prayer time do it at home you bitches
This has to be stopped, and NO businesses should be expected to include this in their jobs !!!!!!!!!! THEY NEED TO ASSIMILATE, NOT THE BUSINESSES ! If they can’t they need to go to a country that allows this !!!!!!!!!!!
It is up to the employee to follow company rules NOT the reverse.
