America's "Melting-Pot" Philosophy Not Working At Grand Island-NE Meat Packing Plant



Muslim-belief workers at the JBS Swift & Co. plant in this central Nebraska community wanted time off to pray during the holy week of Ramadan.


The company accomodated them until other workers protested. Now- no one is happy- according to this story by the Associated Press.
