MUSLIMS WIN RELIGIOUS DISCRIMINATION LAWSUIT.
In California, it is against the law for your employer to discriminate against you because of your religion. Religious discrimination occurs when your employer discriminates against you because of your religion in hiring, firing, and other terms and conditions of employment. Additionally, you cannot be forced to participate -- or not participate -- in a religious activity as a condition of your employment.
When Muslim employees at a local beef plant demanded time off to pray in honor of Ramadan, their employer refused to grant them the prayer time. More than 300 workers walked out when they were told that they could not break for the day's final prayer. Next, they sued their employer for not providing them with reasonable accomodations to practice their religion.
