#2 "We're working with all parties to try to reach a reasonable accommodation," Shandley said. "We think we're reaching that to balance the needs of everybody."

What's that mean? Everybody at the plant converts to Islam?

#3 "On Friday, JBS Swift's global human resources director Jack Shandley said U.S. law requires companies to "make reasonable accommodations" for religious observances."
Can anybody here tell me what law he's referring to?

#4 ~~The bastards~~ Our Muslim Brothers and Sisters, lied, wheedled, and stole their way over here now we're not accommodating enough for them.

#7 The fasting, which lasts a month, is one of the five pillars of the Muslim religion.

What are the other four? Murder, Child Molestation, Conversion at Sword Point, and Lying for Allah?

#10 Shut these friggin' plants down now. If they can't hire American workers at union wages, close them. I wouldn't eat any meat out of these ratholes if I was starving. I'd be eating nuts and twigs first.

#11 "The Somalis are running our plant. They are telling us what do to."
