DAR AL HARB - U.S.A. - NEBRASKA: MOSLEMS TAKE ON JOBS UNDER UNION CONTRACTS, THEN QUIT WHEN THE COMPANY DOES NOT ACCOMODATE THEIR PRAYER DEMANDS

Muslim workers quit Swift Nebraska plant over prayer dispute
By Rocky wire reports

Several dozen Muslim workers have quit their jobs at a Swift & Co. meatpacking plant in Grand Island, Neb. because their prayer times weren’t accommodated.

"They kind of issued the company an ultimatum," said Dan Hoppes, president of Local 22 of the United Food and Commercial Workers Union.

"They went in before the shift started (Monday) and said that they’d go unless they could pray when they needed to," Hoppes said Tuesday.

Hoppes said 94 workers had quit, but the company put the figure around 70. Sean McHugh, a spokesman for Swift at its Greeley headquarters, said breaks are governed by a labor contract and all employees are told about them during orientation for all new employees.
