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.

In this country you take your breaks when they are set by your bosses or you find a different job. Period.
Well if muslims can get prayer time at work, then The rest of us workers deserve a break too
If your not happy we’ll be glad to help y’all pack!!!! Have a happy day
You weren’t hired to pray! You were hired to work!! Get over it!!

Why would the company be under fire? That’s policy! If they allow to bend for these Muslims..then they need to allow other people of other religions to do the same; so good luck with that one!
If YOUR God can’t hear you unless you stick your$#%&!@*in the air on a “prayer” rug…he isn’t God.
They better not get unemployment or welfare either!
F**k muslims
The company does not have to give them prayer time. Old news
