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.

ANY business owner/mgr that hires a Muslim is doomed to failure
Isn’t this the U.S. for the American people?
The muslim scum should be glad they have a job that they took from the AMERICAN workers
I have a grand idea have the sign something before you hire them. Fire them if they disobey. Or better yet don’t give them the job. So you won’t have to be concerned about your non Muslim employees safety and work place violence. Stay away from government endorsement funds and don’t support them.
So if there is capitulation for the non-pork eaters, then Chrstians to. Should be allowed to pray as group during thier break time.
Screw them there in business they hire people to do their job not to cater to religious beliefs
A simple solution … do not hire Muslims !!
Fire them all! No paid “prayer” time. If they want to stay late to make it up, that’s another thing.
Go back and pray all day…garbage !!
Pray on your own time like everybody else
