Stopping to pray several times a day, during work hours? Well, when 190 employees do it, it threatens the existence of the company.

Denver Post:
About 190 workers, mostly Somali, were let go after they left the meatpacking line to protest changes to prayer policy  —  Somali immigrant Halimo Ahmed places her cut on the fastpaced belt during her shift in manufacturing at Cargill Meat Solutions in Fort Morgan.  (Joe Amon, The Denver Post file)

    1. In California, a 10 minute break is required in the morning and, again, in the afternoon. Pray then or forget it. That was my policy as a General Engineering contractor. Your comment frames something that is simply untrue . . . . . . . . period.
