Dell workers walk off job over Prayer dispute
I guess you can walk off your job for this dispute, but you can't walk off if you want a pay raise. I Don't understand.

1. I wonder if the supervisors reaction would have been different if they
Christians wanting to pray?
It sounds to me like a supervisor simply did not allow them to go to their prayers. The company has a policy in place to allow Muslims to pray.
What would that same supervisor say if Christians had want to take time to pray?

3. Oh please maybe they can take a little time to stone a gay person
at lunch time.
the company should endeavor to accommodate everyone, Fairness to all employees should be the overriding issue, however.A half a day on Good Friday was the only concession I've ever seen for Xians. I think Muslims should get no more no less.

2. Good. I hope they're fired.
Employers should not be forced to sponsor workers' psychoses.
