The business of manufacturing has to come first. The same thing happened at a Cargill meat processing plant about three weeks ago. Unfortunately, the employees fail to realize these United States are not the Middle East or Africa. Here, business is in the business of, well...business. And of course, CAIR is all over the two companies. Ibrahim Hooper of CAIR attempts to link prayer at work as constitutionally protected: "These types of accommodation disputes can be resolved in a spirit of respect for constitutionally-protected religious rights and for the legitimate needs of both employees and employers"
Tell you what, Ibrahim, why doesn't CAIR start some businesses and put in place policies you demand other businesses do? Would you like to take a bet on how long it takes to declare bankruptcy?

I'm pretty sure most States have laws that require 10 minute breaks every hour or so.

MAJ Bryan Zeski Sir, surely, you jest! (I admit, I may have missed the sarcasm button.) Here are a few samplings:
California: Under California law (which is much more generous to employees than federal law), if you are a non-exempt worker, you are entitled to meal and rest breaks: a 30-minute meal break if you work more than 5 hours in a workday, and 10 minutes breaks for every 4 hours you work.
Texas: Under federal and Texas labor laws, an employer is not required to provide employees with what is traditionally considered a meal or break period. Breaks are typically defined as a paid break period lasting less than twenty minutes while a lunch or meal period is typically an unpaid break period lasting more than twenty minutes (usually thirty or sixty minutes). In Texas an employer is not required to provide either paid breaks or unpaid lunches (or paid lunches).
Wisconsin: Wisconsin law does not require that employers provide brief rest periods, coffee breaks, or meal periods to adult employees, although the Department recommends, at Wis. Admin. Code § DWD 274.02(2), that employers do so.
Employers are encouraged, but not required, to provide breaks of at least 30 minutes in duration at times reasonably close to the usual meal period. Such matters are to be determined directly between the employer and the employee.
