Nebraska Swift plant fires at least 86 over Ramadan demands

Swift fired at least 86 muslims after they walked off the job because they needed to pray during the so called holy month of ramadan. Mohamed Rage who leads the Omaha somali-american community organization said that 80 were thrown out after an altercation on Thursday. He claims that they tried to return to their shift on Friday and were fired with 70 others.
Just why are we supposed to bend over backwards to these barbarians? They come to this country and want to set up shop here. Well, then they need to comform to our way of doing things.
The muslim workers have been asking for acommodatinf with break times allowed at sunset. Now the non-muslims have began their own protests. They are fed up with this constant appeasement of the muslims. They are rightly claiming preferential treatment.
One of the Somali workers, Mohamed Farah, said some workers tried to take a break to pray Thursday around sunset. The break had been arranged with managers, Farah told The Associated Press, with Rage translating the conversation.
Farah said tension had been building in recent days with Latino workers, who started protesting when they saw the Muslim workers leaving for break. Farah said the Latino workers started shouting and beating on their tables.
Dan Hoppes, president of Local 22 of the United Food and Commercial Workers Union, described what happened Thursday night differently than Rage and Farah did. He said that according to management and employees, 60 to 80 people quit late Thursday after raising the prayer issue and creating a commotion.
Hoppes said supervisors had told the workers to go back to work or leave and they left. Workers who walked off the job Monday and Tuesday in protest had to have known their leaving again would result in their termination, he said.
The plant employs about 2,500 people, not counting management. About a fifth of them are Muslim.
Swift said in a statement that the company is working to resolve the issues that have arisen.
