Hertz suspends Muslim shuttle drivers in Seattle
AP – 8 hrs ago

SEATAC, Washington (AP) — Rental car company Hertz indefinitely suspended 34 Somali Muslim shuttle drivers at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport for praying on company time, and the workers' union is trying to put them back in the driver's seat after what it calls a sudden policy change.
The drivers are required to clock out, under the terms of a settlement two years ago with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, Hertz spokesman Rich Broome said.
"We felt it was reasonable for our Muslim employees who need to pray a couple times during the workday to clock in and clock out," Broome said.
It's not about pay — break time is paid time — but to ensure workers were staying within the 10-minute time slots, which has been a problem, he said. Muslim workers who clocked out were not suspended.
Drivers told The Seattle Times it was a change in policy that Hertz began enforcing last week..................>>>>.......................>>>>.......................http://news.yahoo.com/hertz-suspends-muslim-shuttle-drivers-seattle-135741811.html

OF COURSE YOU CLOCK OUT......AND OF COURSE YOU DONT GET PAID.....


...you are a product of your environment, your environment is a product of your priorities, your priorities are a product of you......

The replacement of morality and conscience with law produces a deadly paradox.

screw them


"While Foreign Terrorists were plotting to murder and maim using homemade bombs in Boston, Democrap officials in Washington DC, Albany and here were busy watching ME and other law abiding American Citizens who are gun owners and taxpayers, in an effort to blame the nation's lack of security on US so that they could have a political scapegoat."

this is why religion shouldn't even be factored in.....the world can't change just because of your religious following.....

p.s. if God was angry about it god would take care of it...
