Company Concedes to Ramadan
The Swift company moved its scheduled break times to concede to Muslim workers' demands, who were fasting for the Muslim holy month of Ramadan. The company allowed Muslim workers to take their breaks about an hour earlier than normal to break their fasts.
Non-Muslim employees complained they were having to work more consecutive hours because of this accommodation to Muslims.
Further, when the Muslims gathered to demand the change in the break time, they were accommodated even though they got violent. When the non-Muslims peacefully gathered to complain about it, they were threatened with losing their jobs.
