The Denver Post reported:
About 150 workers, most of them immigrants from Somalia, have been fired from a meat packing and distribution plant on Colorado s Eastern Plains for walking off the job to protest a workplace prayer dispute.
Ten days ago more than 200 workers walked off their jobs at Cargill Meat Solutions in Fort Morgan.
Some workers later returned, but the majority stayed away as representatives of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) negotiated on their behalf.
On Tuesday Cargill, through its attorneys, fired the workers who were holding out, said Jaylani Hussein, a spokesman and executive director of CAIR.
Cargill is a Kansas-based company.
Some of the fired employees have been working at the plant for up to 10 years, Hussein said. Cargill had previously allowed Muslim employees to pray at the plant, even providing a prayer room, he said.
Depending on the season, the Muslim workers prayed at different times of the day, typically in about five to 10 minute blocks, Hussein said. But recently a decision was made at the plant to change the practice.
“The workers were told If you want to pray, go home Hussein said.
Many of the workers, some who support family with their earnings, banned together and decided to walk off the job in an attempt to sway plant managers to reinstate a prayer schedule.

Would have happened to Christians too. Now they have plenty oftime to pray.
They also have the Right to NOT WASH THEIR HANDS
Walk out, stay out, and don’t come back.
What they REALLY wanted was company-paid time to pray.
This is the new Islamic terrorism of today. Use a few well-placed ISIS inspired atrocities like SB or wherever and then posture and pontificate about abuse, racism, xenophobia, religious bigotry amidst a government CRIPPLED by its Muslim Leader into dealing with the direct problem.
They thought it would be a piece of cake.
And so the “silent” jihad starts......we are to assimilate to them, not them to us.
Alahwahoo Packbar!
I'll be checking labels for sure now. I ain't eatin' nuthin' from Cargill.
I wonder if Chipotle has been getting its meat from Cargill.
To be honest, I don’t think it’s sanitary for a Somali handling food. Especially with their left hand.
Common sense is now a news story.
What a world!
I’m glad the company had the courage and integrity to not SUBMIT to the Islamic demands.
....And this is what they do. The bigger the Muslim population, the worse it gets.
Muslim Fatigue is setting in.
This country needs an enema.

Some? Huh?
Either way, that worked, eh?
Cargill has 150,000 employees in 60 countries and about 120 BILLION in revenues. I don’t think a small handful of idiots can affect their bottom line.
Don’t bring a qu’uran to a paycheck fight, boys.
CAIR: the Muzzie Broz organization promoting Islam Uber
Alles here in the US.
They will likely go on welfare and sit on their asses. I wonder how many of them are illegal aliens. I don’t buy that PC “immigrants” as a valid descriptor.
The only sad part about this is 150 more welfare leeches will be added to the rolls...
Hope fired are permanent. The way this communists government works the company might be required to hire back with back pay and a generous settlement. And allow 2 hours of an 8 hour shift for prayer with pay.
Watch out Cargill - if you don’t play ball with CAIR, their partners in the American Government, especially the DOJ, will find a whole raft of Federal laws and statutes to charge you with.
