Once again, sorry for the weird symbols. This is unfortunate. They chose not to come to work, so the company said fine, don't come to work. You're fired.

Now they've caved. Too bad.

They said they could re-apply. They didn’t say they would hire them back.

Bee up security at that plant. Monitor local mosques. Check phone and social media of local muslims. A frustrated muslim is a likely mass murderer.

I’m not surprised that the company may hire a lot of these people back. Getting 200 new employees to do that kind of work wasn’t going to be easy.

Seems to me that CAIR and the writers of the article are misrepresenting what actually happened.

It is my understanding from what I read elsewhere that these Muslims were NOT told they couldn’t pray - the company allowed for that. They all wanted to pray together and the company held that all of them leaving their work stations at the same time would disrupt production.

The article to me implies that company banned their pray altogether.

Civil right attorneys will get involved with law suits and the company will be forced to hire them back and they win.

Probably because there are a limited number of people willing to work at the meat packing plant for the wages Cargill is willing to pay.

How long before Cargill has to recall products?

I guess I will have to research just what I might be buying that comes from that facility to avoid food poisoning.

You’re right. I just posted it for the fact that they’re thinking about hiring them back.

Oh, no problem...I had no issue with you. It’s just that you have to watch these media types, and there is nothing genuine about CAIR. Everything they do is up to no good.

If Cargill rehires them, no one should buy their products.

My thoughts as well...

Getting 200 new employed people trained and productive is a huge expense and drain on profitability...

Seems to me someone at Cargill HR was trying to be too accommodating probably do to lawsuit concerns and someone in the front office yanked their chain back...

I'm 100 % sure Cargill doesn't care even little what religion you are as long as you come to work and do your job correctly...

I do wonder how these Muslims deal with handling pork products...

Why...?

Cargill didn't cave, they just being business prudent...

You consume all types of products you might find that the workers are objectionable...

Mass quitting not firing. You don’t show up to work it means you quit.

I thought I remember reading in the original story that this plant processes beef products.

Business prudent my ass. Cargill should hire them back at lower wage or tell them to find another job that accommodates them.

I have serious concerns about Jihadists working in the food and beverage industry...color me skeptic. Or better yet, color me Islamiphobic - I am a realist after all.
