Somali workers picket Chanhassen cell phone firm

About 100 Somali workers set up a picket line Friday at the Teleplan Wireless Co. in Chanhassen, protesting conditions they said include ethnic slurs, religious insensitivity and hiring discrimination.
Almost twice that number reportedly walked off their jobs on Monday. Some have returned to work. The rest rejected a company offer to settle on Wednesday and said they will begin to consider contacting labor unions this weekend.
The company, which assembles and refurbishes cell phones, released a statement Friday saying "the door is still open" to workers who want to return. However, like any business serving customers, it continued, "we will have to begin to replace workers who choose not to come back."
The conflict is part of a growing trend as the numbers of Somali, Hmong, Latino and even Bosnian immigrants bring greater diversity to Minnesota workplaces. The state's Department of Human Rights has fielded complaints about Muslim prayer schedules and days-long Asian bereavement periods, for example. Employers have struggled with foreign-language translations of company handbooks and dietary restrictions at company functions, said Janice Downing, CEO of Fredrickson Human Resources Consulting in Minneapolis.

Corporate America is not a place to which I would ever return. It is has deteriorated into a refuge for sycophants and trolls. The United Way and alternative lifestyles are lovingly embraced, while the truth of Jesus Christ has become, not only ignored, but forbidden speech. I pity all those trapped in the corporate web.
Oh yeah? Well my employer wont serve cheese-steak sandwiches and I LOVE those. Oh, wait, my employer doesn't have a cafeteria. Would I complain about a free salad bar every day? Nope.
Yeah, vegan means not eating anything that comes from a beast. That includes milk, cheese, eggs, you name it.
Actually, I would not mind working for the guy. Often just have salad for lunch. And could probably brown bag a salami sandwich if I wanted a change.
And the price seems right.
Love meat, including raw stuff such as oysters, clams, beef, and lamb (raw kibbe is excellent, but one of us will no longer let us go to Muslim run restaurants); have no compunctions about chowing down on critters at all.
My opinion is the guy runs the place and can dictate what he serves in the cafeteria.
And I can do what I want on my time.
Wonderful opportunity for some hard core non-vegans with a tendency toward cannibalism...
textured vegetable ping.
LOL !!!!!!!!!
LOL !!!!!!!!!
Id say being 65 greatly contributed to his death
Er, the same as he would for an NRA bumper sticker.
PS, at my office we had a secretary who made all travel arrangements. She was outstanding as an employee but somewhere in the years she worked there she put up a PETA calander. Whoa, we all stopped any discussion within earshot of her desk, who wanted to travel with middle seats for the duration of the employment?
Its all the SAME war--the war of those who would mandate our individual behavior according to THEIR wishes, and not our own. The twit behind this is right there in the same slimy bunch as Johns Kerry and Edwards and all the rest of the "politically correct" socialists.
Especially if you could take a plate full back to your desk, then add eggs, salami, whatever you like
That's pretty young.
"Does Lucille eat meat-free meat as well? Perhaps PETA should investigate this wacko for feeding his dog garbage.
"
A co-worker of mine declared herself a vegetarian - at least, she stated, she didn't eat red meat. Her criteria was that she didn't eat animals with big brown eyes. (!?!?!?)
One of us pointed out that her cat ate meat. She said that if she could turn her cat into a vegetarian, she would...
depends on what meaure you use. I just hope the guy had no regrets
May I suggest a look at the Nanny Culture website:

I don't mind whatever anyone chooses to eat or not eat as long they don't feel compelled to tell me about it or what I should or should not eat, drink, wear, etc.
Bacon is obviously the work of the Devil's workshop, but I had some this morning and boy did it taste good! I could maybe give up meat, chicken and fish, but who can live a rational life without cheese, milk, cream, butter and ice cream? You'd DIE! Or at least die unhappy.
Same sorta thing with Apple Computer or Macaholics. It's OK if you choose to use a Mac, but don't look down your nose at me because I use Windows. No lectures or looks please. I even think Macs and iPods are great designs, but my stock trading program only works on Windows. End of rant.
