DAR AL HARB - U.S.A. - NEBRASKA: MEAT PACKING PLANT, UNION CONTRACTS & SOMALI MOSLEMS TRYING TO INFLICT THEIR SHARI'AH ON SWIFT & CO.

The original post & story had mentioned 94 workers walked off the job, according to Mr. Hoppes, the company had said 70 and now, this newspaper article says 120 walked off the job & 70 have returned...

Which to believe?!?

I would think that it should be the representative of Swift & Co. that should be believed, because:

1) Moslems themselves like to inflate their numbers, whether it is to make themselves feel better or to demonstrate "strength in numbers" to the infidels, I am not sure...

2) The MSM's are islamic handmaidens, obfuscating for the moslem jihad at every opportunity especially after the deal with the devil was struck and you can see the Islamo-Leftist Alliance working...

No surprise there, they have advocated for the worst humanity has had to offer, the Hussains, Stalin's, Lenin's, Chavez's, Castro's, Guevara's, insert the name of any other tin-pot dictator(s) of your choice here _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ ...Plenty of them to go around...

Therefore, 70 walked off the job and 70 returned...

They have won nothing this go around, but they will not stop and their drip drip drip of demands will ultimately pay off. Because someone, somewhere at Swift & Co. and the Union will say: JUST GIVE IT TO THEM, because they are sick and tired of listening to the moslem whiners...

It will happen even faster, if there are threats to physical well being made...I wonder how soon that will come about...Ohh and what about accusations of racism, than the A.C.L.U. will get involved and C.A.I.R. with their proclomations of islam is peace, infidels are islamophobic and the moslem population in the U.S. is 7 million strong, except Pew Research has shown them to be liars because they couldn't find more than 2.35 million...

Yup, the jihad is strong in America...



70 who quit over prayer time return to work
Somali Muslims had wanted to be able to pray at sundown

OMAHA, Nebraska - Dozens of Somali meatpacking workers who quit their jobs because they were not given enough time off for Muslim prayers have returned to work, but the issue could resurface as sundown inches later through the summer, a union official said Friday.

About 70 of 120 Somali workers are back on the job at the Swift & Co. meatpacking plant after abruptly quitting last week. The workers complained that existing break time rules did not let them leave lines to pray at sundown.

Similar requests for workplace accommodations of Muslim religious obligations have become common around the country, says Muslim advocates.

“I don’t know how it’s going to work, and I feel bad about it,” said Dan Hoppes, president of Local 22 of the United Food and Commercial Workers Union.

Later summertime sunsets could run past allotted breaks that keep workers from long stretches on production lines.

“We do those things to prevent injuries and to give them a little rest,” Hoppes said.

The workers agreed to come back after company and union officials met with workers and the head of a Somali community group to discuss the conflicts between Muslim prayer and workplace rules. The company agreed to accommodate the workers as much as it could within the contract, company and union officials said.

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.
