CAIR Negotiating on Behalf of Muslim Workers Fired from Meat Plant Over Prayer Dispute
[BREITBART] About 190 workers, most of them Muslim immigrants from Somalia, were fired from their jobs at a meat packing and distribution plant in Colorado this week for walking off the job to protest a workplace prayer dispute.Approximately 200 workers reportedly walked off of their jobs at Cargill Meat Solutions in Fort Morgan earlier this month to protest what they allege were changes made in times allowed for them to take breaks in order to participate in Islamic prayer. According to the Denver Post, some workers later returned and were able to keep their jobs, but the majority stayed away in hopes of swaying management to reinstate a prayer schedule as representatives of the Council on American-Islamic Relations ... the Moslem Brüderbund's American arm ... (CAIR)--an "unindicted co-conspirator" in the Holy Land Foundation trial, which concerned fundraising for the Paleostinian terror organization Hamas, always the voice of sweet reason,--negotiated on their behalf. CAIR is also helping the aunt of a seven-month-old child left orphaned by radical jihadist couple who massacred 14 people and maimed 22 others in a terrorist attack in San Bernardino this month gain jug of the infant. "They feel missing their prayer is worse than losing their job," Jaylani Hussein, a front man and executive director of CAIR said. "It's like losing a blessing from God." Salat is the obligatory Muslim prayer and the second Pillar of Islam, which is required to be performed five times a day by observant Muslims. Hussein reportedly said that the Muslims workers CAIR was negotiating on behalf of would pray at the plant multiple times a day in five-t0-10 minute blocks of time and alleged that the plant decided to change the practice. The Post notes that the time was carved out of a 15-minute break period or from the workers' unpaid 30-minute lunch breaks. "At no time did Cargill prevent people from prayer at Fort Morgan," director of communications for Cargill, Mike Martin reportedly said. "Nor have we changed policies related to religious accommodation and attendance. This has been mischaracterized." He added that accommodation on a daily basis is dependent upon changing factors in the plant, noting that this facet had been "clearly communicated to all employees." Posted by: Fred 2016-01-01 |
