Muslim Electrolux workers in St. Cloud
Here is the article: 165 Muslim Electrolux workers in St. Cloud get OK to break fast for Ramadan. The workers, backed by the Minnesota chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), had charged Electrolux with violating the 1964 Civil Rights Act.
This looks more like “cry wolf.” So if I go to Church every Sunday and then all of a sudden the needs of the business “XYZ Corporation” where I work decides I have to work now every Sunday. Now I can “Cry Wolf” because this is a violation of my Civil Rights. Specifically 1964 Civil Rights Act. Hmm an accommodation for me to go to Church on Sunday where I have already been going every Sunday.
When anyone applies for a job right on the application it is stated:
Are you able to perform the essential functions of the job for which you are applying, either with / without reasonable accommodation? [ ] Y or [ ] N
If no, describe the functions that cannot be performed
_____________________________________________________________
(Note: Company complies with the ADA and consider reasonable accommodation measures that may be necessary for eligible applicants/employees to perform essential functions. It is possible that a hire may be tested on skill/agility and may be subject to a medical examination conducted by a medical professional.)
So should every Muslim stated when Ramadan time shows up that Electrolux needs to give us reasonable accommodations? I don’t think any of the Muslims would have been hired.
Maybe the company needs to build a Mosque in the complex and remove the break room. I think it would only be fair for Electrolux to give the Christians, the non-Christians, non Believers, Smokers and non-Smokers should all get reasonable accommodations. Otherwise they should also file a lawsuit againts Electrolux.
Mosque in New York City?
I love this comment from Jason Horowitz the Washington Post- New Yorkers on both sides of the Islamic center argument are angry at outsiders who don’t understand the city and fan the flames: “They are trying to create propaganda.” The Article comes from the Star Tribune – Saturday, August 21, 2010 which was actually printed in the Washington Post: By JASON HOROWITZ, Washington Post, Last update: August 20, 2010 – 9:26 PM. I will ad just one more quote from the article:
Newt Gingrich has argued, among other things, that the Muslim congregation shouldn’t build the center because “Nazis don’t have the right to put up a sign next to the Holocaust Museum in Washington.” Sarah Palin has weighed in, too, in opposing the “ground zero mosque.” The pain she said, is “too raw, too real.”
Now I would like to know why after all these years since September 11, 2001 that, now a religious group who is associated with Terrorism in the United States is pushing to put up a Mosque in the vicinity of the Terrorist Attack that took place. What and why is this location so important? Why now?
Who wants to be the newbie in charge?
“FOR THE PEOPLE ABOUT THE PEOPLE” Another four years is about to come to an end; for our current President. “But what has he and his cabinet done for Our Country?” So the arena has opened up to new candidates. A new aura into the future of our country. Every candidate will bring something to the table, but I ask who wants more than one helping?
Nothing has been done in Government except for each political party just points the finger at each other. Who did this and who did that. Corruption at it’s finest. But wait it is all on the Government level. Lawyers make rules to protect themselves and no one else.
Wow!! Have a nice day.
