60% of the workforce there is Somali
"Workers say its hard to reach that 230 item an hour requirement because their time is interrupted when they leave the production line for prayer."
Note it doesn't say they don't.. just that its hard.
Amazon have increased the productivity requirements by 50% in the past 12 months.. with no extra pay.
But none of that was actually the main bitch, it was..
"This group wants Amazon to promote workers from their majority East African workforce and to use profits to fund initiatives that address issues like lack of safe and affordable housing. They believe Amazon should work with it’s Somali workers to reduce economic disparity in the community it heavily recruits from. "

Now I don't know about you, but I'd say that's a sign they are becoming more American! Show me one Amazon warehouse where employees don't bitch about productivity requirements.
Since 60% of the workforce is Somali... Amazon knows fully fucking well what their work habits are and you'd think they'd bend a little to keep it. The 5 preyers a day take less than a hour, what's that $7.50?
