About 190 workers, most of them immigrants from Somalia, have been fired from a meat packing and distribution plant on Colorado's Eastern Plains for walking off the job to protest a workplace prayer dispute.
Ten days ago more than 200 workers walked off their jobs at Cargill Meat Solutions in Fort Morgan.
Some workers later returned, but the majority stayed away as representatives of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) negotiated on their behalf.

Some of the fired employees have been working at the plant for up to 10 years, Hussein said. Cargill had previously allowed Muslim employees to pray at the plant, even providing a prayer room, he said.

The not gay,not black,not muzzie,not sane DUmbfuk weighs in.

1. Our version of capitalism, or any version, allows abuse of employees like this.
I wish there was a way to seize the company and turn it over to the workers.

4. How would that work, exactly?
In a worker owned enterprise, would the business still be a corporation, with the workers as the sole shareholders? Or would it be like a partnership, with each employee responsible for a share of the liabilities as well as owning a share of the assets?
If someone leaves, whether voluntarily or not, what happens to their ownership share? Would they be required to surrender it? If that ownership share has a negative value, would the released worker have to pay their portion of debts?
I'm not against worker owned co-operatives. I certainly think it is better in most cases than state ownership. But there needs to be some rules and standards laid down.

6. I get angry sometimes and go to extremes, what we NEED are STRONG unions that would threaten
to shut this place down if they restricted the people's right to pray etc.
I am against capitalism for the most part but am aware what I want aint gonna happen
What creates the Rolex watches you collect Mr Shaw?

9. Unions can create all kinds of on the job rights for people. Rights are the wrong word, of course
benefits, condition of employment, etc

23. The poster only wants those "rights" given to whom he deems "victimized".
You can bet if some group wanted Christian prayer rooms and circles every break, he'd have no problem telling them to shut up like all of us would.
Even you fellow loons think you are a moron Randy.

I get angry sometimes and go to extremes

I'm always angry and go to extremes, but I'm just trying to keep up with the rest of you nut jobs here on DU.
At least that would be the truth.

randy - you're getting hammered in that thread. It may be time (again!) for some introspection if you're being called out as too looney at the looniest place that has ever existed
Also, :bird:

After reading the thread, may I humbly submit a solution.
Fire the muslims, DON'T hire any more, and deport those you do hire. Send them to a country that will honor and respect their demands. Somalia, Saudi Arabia and other places in the middle east will do.

Yeah, it looks like Cargill bent over backwards trying to accommodate the hadjis but they just wanted more and more. Just like leftists--if you give in to their mewling demands thinking that it will shut them up, before you know it they will be wanting a $15 minimum wage or unlimited off-line prayer breaks with company provided prayer rugs.

It's what muslims do. Push the rules, make the kaffir bow to demands, then demand more. They got bit this time.
Why turn to CAIR (unless it was a planned move), instead of the union? (Hint: The union wouldn't have backed them) and CAIR provides more publicity (threat of lawsuits, violence, etc. Religion of peace and all that).

randy has an anger problem, and he's dumber than a box of rocks to boot.
If he doesn't make the list of Top 10 DUmmies, I'm going to be very disappointed.
