| CAIR Negotiating on Behalf of Muslim Workers Fired from Meat Plant Over Prayer Dispute |
| 2016-01-01 |
| [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." |

| #6 I can't quite figure out how to make a link with the WWW widgit below, but if you search Denver Post Somali Fort Morgan, you can find an older article with some background on this group. This has been brewing for a decade now, and I've been watching it here in CO to see where it's heading. One part of me wonders if the workers are being used by CAIR as pawns to violate their working agreements by giving them bad advice, another part of me thinks they simply haven't accepted enough USA culture (which this 2011 article describes, and is a simpler and thus more likely story). |

| #2 No different than the local EEOC (Equal Employment Opportunity Commission) representative working hand-in-hand with the NAACP to bring about "equity" and "insure human rights" in some government office. The template has already been established. Bring it on, we've done it to ourselves and it didn't just happen yesterday. |

| #1 Absolutely no. Overly litigious, pious, ridiculous demands. It's a shakedown in order to force shariah law. There is something about American Business and Private Citizens being forced into court over "Alien Law". This fight will be everywhere. It ends now. Islam is NOT a Religion. |
