Colorado meatpacking plant lays off 100 Muslim workers
Friday September 12, 2008 Islam

A meatpacking company Wednesday laid off about 100 Muslim immigrant workers who walked off the job last week in protest of the firm’s refusal to give them time to pray during the holy month of Ramadan.
Non-Muslim workers complained they had to do additional work when Muslims went to pray, which devout followers do five times a day.
