America is totally out of control. Prayer breaks for Muslims and scheduling around Somalian needs !?! When I worked most places didn't even have adequate break rooms and if they had one you were hard pressed to get a break being in the medical field let alone a designated prayer room. Are you serious ? Making prayer rooms at work but we have taken prayer out of our schools where the children of these same parents asking for prayer breaks ? I'm a Christian and had to give up my right to pray and say the Lord's Prayer and Pledge of Allegiance. Now they want God off the dollar bill but want to pray at the places the earn that money. This total bull crap. We keep bowing down to everything this very country was founded on. Don't like the rules don't stay. #Unbelievable

As a customer of Aierns and someone who can read the constitution that details a separation of church and state, the government needs to butt out of this situation and let the parties settle their disagreements between each other.
The government has no duty to back, support or dictate the rights of any religious body and its members who wish to impose their religion and religious practices upon an employer at the expense of that employer.
Since our atheist friends fervently demand that there be no prayers in schools etc perhaps they would like to be advocates for Aierns that they be reimbursed for "Prayer Rooms" they have to provide their Muslim Employees to pray on company premises? Just saying what seems fair and appropriate.

That's not fair to the other employees who have to do double the amount of work, even if it's for 5 minutes, do the Muslim share their paycheck with the employee who covers for them? My guess is no. This is America, take your towel & go home if you don't like it. I believe in freedom of religion, speech, whatnot. If that is to hard for you to understand then maybe you should go back to your home country where you can pray when you need to.

I say ... "Oh Well". According to law listed by the Equal Opportunity Employment Commission, “an employer DOES NOT have to accommodate an employee’s religious beliefs or practices if doing so would cause undue hardship to the employer… [such as] decreased efficiency”.. And one employee states: “I have been 35 years in America and I’ve never heard of a company that is not allowing its employees to pray five minutes. It is absolutely discrimination on its face,” -- But I ask, what about Catholic/Christian Americans - All of these people (Muslims) crying discrimination are constantly offended by schools saying the pledge of allegiance (One Nation under God), Nativities, Christmas Trees, etc... If they feel we are infringing on their "rights" -- THEY ARE infringing on ours! Practice what you preach. OR GET THE "F" OUT OF THE U.S.!!!!! I feel they should Pledge their Allegiance to the country that is affording them many benefits to make money and live "freely".

Production lines can't be expected to stop for one's prayer time, nor should the company be expected to keep 'floaters' on staff to accommodate the prayer needs of a few dozen workers.
It is the worker's responsibility to find a job consistent with their religion, not the employer's job to alter production schedules to meet the worker's religious beliefs.
