Five-hundred Muslim workers walked off the job Monday at a Grand Island meatpacking plant after they say they were denied time to pray during the Muslim observance of Ramadan.
More than 100 workers at a Greeley Swift plant were fired last week because the company said they walked away from work before their shifts ended.

fire them all!
I think we should bring in several thousand head hunters and witch doctors from the Congo, relocate them down the street from Bush's ranch.
Maybe it’s time Christians made a bigger fuss at these times.
No sympathy for the moron who hired 500 of these clowns.
They don’t need no steenking union. If you thwart them they will just jihad you.
Maybe it is....
I wonder if this is the same plant that was raided by INS last year and lost over a hundred 'illegal' workers?
Maybe it is....
If I was the GM of that plant I would tell them to keep on walking until they reach an international airport, and then head on back to whatever Mooselimb hellhole they crawled out of.
I guess it isn't bad enough that we have them here taking American jobs, we also have to cater to the peculiar rituals of their Satanic religion. The feds will no doubt force the company to give them the time off they want, with pay of course, and anything else that their pagan god Allah, aka Satan, requires. God help us, our government certainly won't.
BTW, does anyone know how many Ramadans there are in a year's time? It seems to me like there must be a perpetual Ramadan going on because every time I read or hear anything about Mooselimbs they are observing it.
I wonder what’s going on in that area that this plant has to hire 500 muslums to work there. Are these American-born islamic faithful or are these folks immigrants? Either way, one would think that the company, at some point in the hiring process, would have told these guys that while they are on the clock they will not have time to pray - and the same should apply to all people of any faith that choose to work for this company. If they want to clock out for a lunch break and go off property to pray that would be their business.
It’s time Americans made a bigger fuss over this crap.
It was the same. In 2006, INS made coordinated raids on six Greely plants in the US. Over 1200 illegals were detained.
It's a full lunar month of time and because it is a lunar (rather than solar) based cycle it rotates around the calender.
So these folks cut pork all year then find religion during ramadingdong.
500 Mexicans show up for work . . .
Let them continue walking to any Boeing 747 and fly them to the hellholes they come from.
Good Gawd...
I used to think of places like Nebraska as the American heartland, gentle rolling hills with a farmer and his family working the fields, while their dog romped around, while Mom baked apple pie and chicken dinner in the farm house.
I'm ((really)) beginning to dislike this government and our leadership.
..hope it continues.
Serves Grand Island right for hiring so many of them. Maybe they will go out of business because of the strike.
This is a coordinated national attack funded by the Muslim Brotherhood.
