Did anybody here actually read the article?  Things appear to have worked just fine with the workers getting staggered breaks to do their prayers. No line disruption.  No big deal. Then in Dec. 2015 (just noting coincidentally the beginning of last election cycle and a lot of new anti-Muslim rhetoric) the company changed the policy. But to my mind the more concering issue is the Union apparently colluding with the company to discriminate against these workers -- all the will shoveling in their union dues.
