Additionally, yearly complaints from Muslims have doubled in the last 10 years, from 221 in 1996 to 594 in 2006,If they don't like it here, they are free to live in a country that is operated according to prayer times.

Isn’t Swift mainly pork and why are we catering to the enemy?

“Many say they were fired, quit or were verbally and physically harassed over the issue. . .”
“Tensions at the plant flared in May when 120 Somali workers abruptly quit over the issue.”
Which is it?

I have worked in Meat Packing Plant mgmt for years. Many times a plant will go to almost ridiculous lenghts to keep employees happy with the ultimate goal of keeping unions out.
I’m not sure if this plant is a union shop of not but my guess is they are not.

I’m not sure if this plant is a union shop of not but my guess is they are not. Your guess was wrong.
"Swift said it could eliminate some break-time conflicts, and offered to negotiate more scheduling flexibility with the union to allow more prayer time if the workers agreed to the proposal."
"The company also offered to go to union representatives to negotiate lengthening the dinner break window if the workers agreed to the proposal."
To: metmom
Same here. I think I’ll contact swift and ask them if they’ll be setting aside times for Catholics to say the Rosary anytime soon, or allowing Protestants to hold morning prayer. This is ridiculous. NO religious group in the history of this nation has ever been catered to like this, against normal company policy.
