Dispute Over Prayer Leads To Firing Of Nearly 200 Muslims At Meat Plant - GMDino - 01-02-2016 http://denver.cbslocal.com/2015/12/31/dispute-over-prayer-leads-to-firing-of-nearly-200-muslims-at-meat-plant/ Quote:FORT MORGAN, Colo. (CBS4) – The Cargill meat plant in Fort Morgan has fired approximately 190 Muslim workers as the result of a dispute over prayer while on the job. Well they have plenty of time to pray now. ![]() I know I have left work to attend holy day mass at lunch. My boss isn't fond of it. Heck he is fond of me taking a lunch...because he's an ahole. But these guys pushed it and lost. Too bad for them. RE: Dispute Over Prayer Leads To Firing Of Nearly 200 Muslims At Meat Plant - Belsnickel - 01-02-2016 No problem with this. Employers should make reasonable accommodations, key word being reasonable. It appears Cargill attempted to work something out that was very reasonable. Tough shit for those that were fired.

Yeah, let me know how that works out for you RE: Dispute Over Prayer Leads To Firing Of Nearly 200 Muslims At Meat Plant - GMDino - 01-02-2016 (01-02-2016, 12:17 PM)Belsnickel Wrote: No problem with this.

I chaperone a coworker's world religions field trip each year and the imam at the mosque said there's no real time requirement for prayer. There's the general guidelines for the 5 times a day, but they'd be cool with breaking up into groups in terms of staying true to their religion. He stressed making an effort to pray when you could if it was feasible RE: Dispute Over Prayer Leads To Firing Of Nearly 200 Muslims At Meat Plant - Vlad - 01-03-2016 (01-02-2016, 12:42 PM)GMDino Wrote: Exactly.

Am I right? No, because I felt my wording was less that perfect when I said "Too bad for them". Clarity is something we should strive for when you only have the wrtten word with no inflection to judge intent. Also, because some people on these boards (not naming names) believe that if you take position "A" on a topic than you can never take position "B" on a similar topic. ![]() |
