Muslims working for Amazon staged a walkout protest on Friday to demand a more Islamic workplace.
 

Can you believe these losers? We let them into the country and they "demand" they get time to pray 5 times a day? GTFO. Fire these assholes and do not concede to one single fucking demand.

Inch by inch - the gall of these fuckers never ceases to amaze me at times.

All religions suck.

Too bad state law over there guarantees Islam will win. Freedom of religion and all that.

Many Amazon workers don't have enough time to take a dump.

Must be why Currently Sober cant a4rd anything.

That's for sure...

It doesn't guarantee shit. Look up "undue hardship."

An employer need not provide an accommodation that will create an undue hardship for the company. taking 5 additional breaks during the day to pray is BS . If you work 8 hours you got 16 hours on your own time to pray. Take that shit back to your goat fucking 7th century ass backwoods hell hole you came from.

See this is the bullshit they start with. Pretty soon if they ever hit 3-5% ( let's hope that never happens here) they'll start asking for their own arbitrators in courts trying to circumvent our laws like they do in the UK. Thank god we have many states that already have laws on the books forbidding any kind of sharia fuckery.

Maga baby

Maybe get your head out of right wing spin sites?

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?

Amazon, East African workers at odds over conditions at Shakopee center - StarTribune.com

Nice try. Why do you come into my thread trying to muddy it up with lies? They are crying because Amazon isn't giving them time to pray 5 times a day.

How's about Vox, a liberal rag reporting the same thing.

You are sadly mistaken. That's why Islam is winning.

It'll be ok.

The robots are coming, and they don't need to pray. These Somali fuckers will have 24 hours a day to pray that they can find a new job soon.

I take it your unable to read a word in the link you posted? Maybe get out of the basement and ask mom to help???

And a 100 people out of a 3000 workforce?... you've been clucked.

"As a practicing Muslim, Ibrahin tries to pray five times a day. But because Amazon has the warehouse associates working on a strict hourly packing quota, she says she cannot take a prayer break."

I don't care if it's 100 or 10,000, they're still crying and doing muslim type shit. Assimilate or get the fuck out.

Now your grasping at straws, if they made it a requirement that everyone must work Sundays.. then out of a employee pool of 3000, you can bet 100 Christians would be standing up screaming.

Maybe go back to bashing the Amish...

Having a day off for prayer or religious reasons is an easy work around (nobody works 7 days a week). Having to stop and pray 5 times a day and having an entire month of shit production because you're not eating, isn't.

Pull the muslim dick out of your ear.

Sorry but Islam is here. To stay. Fastest growing religion in America. Freedom of religion. Sucks for redhats. Federal law prohibits employers from engaging in religious discrimination. America was founded on religious freedom. This ain't Russia.

Find another warehouse that's got a 230 item an hour requirement.. that's being meet, which these guys are..

Maybe there's a reason Amazon use them as 60% of their workforce, especially when they keep saying it has one of the fastest packing times in the country...

Could it possibly be there happy to work 6 days a week, 12 hours a day and on Sundays? and do that faster than any white fellas can?

See Amazon know all these things when they employ them including their faiths requirements. No one's complaining about them meeting the requirements that were put to them at the time of employment, its just that Amazon has raised those by 50% in the past 12 months.

Any business in any western country that does that to a group of 3000 workers.. will more than likely find at least 100 of them... go "fuck that we'll strike".

Its called being American isn't?

My brother in Florida works in a warehouse, 2nd shift. Fridays off, and for Ramadan he's allowed to merge his 2 paid breaks into 1 and coincide it with breaking fast.

#MAGA since before trump

yes it is really inconsiderate of them to run from all the countries the USA de-stabilizes and bombs the shit out of...how rude of them to demand anything from total invaders USA that totally mind their own business and never tell anybody how to live :1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh :1orglaugh:1orglaugh

oh the gall! :1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

No jobs for Muslims
 

If Muslims continues with this protest, nobody in US will give them jobs.

Plus, trump will be back again with thumping majority.

Why don't the Muslim workers work for a Muslim firm where praying 5 timesa day is allowed?

Good point.

religious freedom...practice what you preach :1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

Pedophilia is permitted in the Qur'an, was practiced by Prophet Muhammad and his companions, and some Muslims today continue to commit the crime, following their prophet's example.

Paid time off for prayer 5 times a day, everyday, is beyond reasonable. You can have your freedom of religion but employers only have to allow what is reasonable in the workplace.

They can pray 5 times when it's not their shift.

This isn't the Middle East. If they want to pray 5 times a day during work then let them go back home.

This is how Islam works. The only goal of Islam is to spread and take over like a disease.

I don't go to live in the Middle East and then start yelling for them to change their ways to please me.

If you employ 60% Muslims ( about 2000) , then you sort of know the routine before you go employing another one...

And with the work, that warehouse was already more productive than most, Amazon themselves said they had one of the fastest packing times. But of course they like to push it to the limit.. and raised the packing quota more than 50% in the past year.

meanwhile staff are getting the same pay.. So 100 of the 3000 staff had a protest strike about the conditions... Which should be of no fucking surprise to anyone.. except for Ruskis and the OP of the thread. Do that in any factory in the western world and 2.8% of the workforce will bitch like hell and most likely protest.

I'd guess a another 100 are whinging because they're smokers

The only reason this makes the news is because its fitting the Right wing agenda.

America needs a good Civil War again to remove all the trash. Reboot.

Two or more sides disagree on who runs the country. And they can't settle the question through elections because they don't even agree that elections are how you decide who's in charge. That's the basic issue here. Who decides who runs the country? When you hate each other but accept the election results, you have a country. When you stop accepting election results, you have a countdown to a civil war.

The Mueller investigation is about removing President Trump from office and overturning the results of an election. We all know that. But it's not the first time they've done this. The first time a Republican president was elected this century, they said he didn't really win. The Supreme Court gave him the election. There's a pattern here.

What do sure odds of the Democrats rejecting the next Republican president really mean? It means they don't accept the results of any election that they don't win. It means they don't believe that transfers of power in this country are determined by elections. That's a civil war. There's no shooting. At least not unless you count the attempt to kill a bunch of Republicans at a charity baseball game practice. But the Democrats have rejected our system of government. This isn't dissent. It's not disagreement. You can hate the other party. You can think they're the worst thing that ever happened to the country. But then you work harder to win the next election. When you consistently reject the results of elections that you don't win, what you want is a dictatorship. Your very own dictatorship.

so does the bible...some westerners still practice it today, it is called the catholic church :1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

Yet again you show complete ignorance of American laws and American culture :2 cents:

How sweet...

So what are you saying? muslims are different than Americans? They're supposed to be AMERICANS. What difference does it make if you hire muslims or Jews or Christians? If you're in America you follow our customs.


The story originated on the far-left liberal rag, Vox.com

Capitalism will correct this.

America = "freedom of religion"

Religion sucks but freedom of religion means freedom of religion

Amazon is free to fire all the employees that walked off the job

first published NYT

https://www.nytimes.com/2018/11/20/t...minnesota.html

It's not a story of racism like you and your right wing buddies have spun it..

Its a story of corporate greed at the expense of its workers and how labour rights have been stripped away from.. Americans.

Amazon knew their cultural requests before employing them it was a condition of employment, yet despite the prayer breaks the Somali were still able to meet company targets, actually surpassing them! hence why Amazon employed more than 2000 of them at that one warehouse... Hard fast workers.

Because of that Amazon increased the targets by 50%, and 100 of 3000 workers decided to protest ... 100.

But its not just Minnesota, Amazon and Amazons work requirements are facing criticism all over America and around the world where they are located.

Democracy and tolerance... it will always finish badly :upsidedow

I prefer an intolerent country with my values than a country which allows everything and anything (even the worst).

Muslim migrants should be sent in muslim countries.
Islam and muslims should be kicked out of western countries.

France is becoming a shithole because of them, dont let USA become the same.

At this point it's just common sense to send them packing. We won't see the real effects till about 100-200 years from now when Europe has been turned into a middle eastern hellhole.

Like they say, western civilization may have all the clocks, but they have all the time. If you're dumb enough to let them into your country you deserve it.

Oh no.. poor muslim immigrants have to work hard. You don't like it, quit. Can you imagine French, Polish, Portuguese, Irish, Dutch immigrants coming to the USA in the late 19th century and complaining about having to work hard?

They can take their mud-pie eating asses back to Somalia.

Considering in 1937 there were 4,740 strikes in the United States, I don't think they did much else actually ;)
