Thread: Muslim Workers Sue UPS for Discrimination

Give the devil an inch he will take a 100 miles

The lawsuit alleged the Atlanta-based company, as well as the Edina, Minnesota, staffing company Doherty Staffing Services, discriminated against several of its Muslim employees and violated the Minnesota Human Rights Act and Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, KAAL reported.

The workers claimed in the suit that before June 2014, they were allowed to engage in daily prayer outside of their breaks and during work hours. When a new operations manager took over, that policy changed. The new manager reportedly asked employees in a meeting to raise their hands if they wanted to pray.

"After most Muslim employees raised their hands, (the operations manager) stated that he wanted to replace all of the employees who had raised their hands," the suit stated.

The employees claimed they were given one option if they wanted to pray during the day: They would have to leave and go home. They were also told that if they left, they would not be allowed to return.

More lunacy from the anti-American group attempting to force change on American businesses and culture. They're just as bad as the NFL kneelers.

I'm glad UPS didn't cower and give in to their demands.

The lawsuit was just filed. Give it time. :)

I liked this:

"Prayer for what?" one mad World News reader commented on the site's Facebook page. "Simply wanting to disrupt the system that works to keep America going. That is their only objective; if I had to pray 5 times a day for no results, I'd find a new religion that works with the system that provides life for my family. They'd rather sue the employer and have a liberal judge give them a life's pension."
