I'd Like (However Many) Breaks A Day Too

Wouldn't you?

Can this US company ban Muslim prayer breaks? They just did

 

[TNHarley]

That would be frustrating as hell. Especially on an assembly line.
Don't blame them a bit.

Areins is the second company to tell the Muslims to pound sand on this issue.

5 breaks a day? Are the 5 times set for Muslim prayer all during the work day?

The OP's thread title is misleading.

Depending on the job's hours or which shift the the person is working.

A muslin wishing to pray during work hours.

Would only need one, or at most two prayer breaks, to fulfill his religious obligation. ......

time off for prayers at work??I owned a business once upon a time and I'd fire the person immediately that wasted time like that

Whatever the number, they are not entitled to prayer breaks. Neither are Christians or anyone else.

I'd rather spend my breaks having a smoke or a Twinkie than praying; not much of a 'break,' from their perspective.

I am a firm believer in EQUITY. Prayer breaks? If they exist for ANYONE ---
they must exist for ALL----depending on WHATEVER any individual decides is
his "belief" In fact-----the rules should be INTERNATIONAL

I've been wondering about this since the Cargill company did the same: How do industries/companies in Muslim countries handle this? And if a Muslim doesn't have the opportunity to pray 5 times a day, what will happen to him/her? Have any practical accomodations been made for this in the 21st century?

Just not sure what you meant. It seems if they're busy fulfilling a religious obligation, it's not a 'break' in the regular sense. Do you argue if they get prayer breaks, the non-Muslims must get the same amount of breaks? Is that the problem?

Your own article says they aren't requesting 5 breaks a day...

Islamic faith requires Muslims to pray five times a day. Until the new policy was announced Thursday, Muslim employees at Ariens were permitted to leave their station at the production line to pray twice during their shifts.​

Who says they have to be extra breaks?

If they were cigarette breaks conservatives would love them

Gonna get nailed on that one unless they can prove there is no reasonable way to accommodate the Muslim faithful. And learn when Muslims pray, it's not five times during 9 to 5.
