"Plant Rejects Muslim Employees' Requests to Meet Prayer Needs," from the Associated Press, September 18: GRAND ISLAND, Nebraska — Managers at a Nebraska meatpacking plant have told Muslim employees, most of them Somali, that shift changes made to meet their prayer demands weren't working and would be ended. Union president Dan Hoppes said Thursday that the workers reacted well to the news, but he didn't know whether they would walk out later in protest as they did Monday. He and managers at the JBS Swift & Co. plant are still talking about meeting employee needs and maintaining plant production. Workers were sitting down with managers for discussions before the second shift started Thursday afternoon. Counterprotests by non-Muslim workers began Wednesday. They said the shift changes penalized them while favoring the Muslim workers. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are a member of the "News Sarasota" Google group...
