#2 Be sure to support Swift by purchasing one of their tender pork, bacon or sausage products. (They sell beef, too.)

#4 Swift's ain't too damn swift. First, most of the workers in Greeley were illegals. Now a large share in Grand Island are muuzzies ? No one who's been through Grand Island would guess that there's an accumulation of Death Cultists way out there. Just goes to show that you have to be locked & loaded at all times. At least Swift's did the right thing and told them to move along. I guess all my meat supplies have to be restricted to the local butcher shop from henceforth.

#5 Byebye. Now get on a plane and go back to Somalia or Bosnia or whatever other dive you came from.

#6 When did a place of business become a place of worship. If I feel like praying, I either have to be quiet and respectful, or just go to a church. I am surprised that there was no mention of footbath's not being available too.

#7 The Grand Island Independent reports that the ex-workers are Somalis.

#8 Sean McHugh, a spokesman for Swift at its Greeley headquarters, said breaks are governed by a labor contract and all employees are told about them during orientation for all new employees.

One thing you don't do is grant only some of your employees accommodations above and beyond the contract requirements.

#9 Well - they now have 24 hour per day available for prayer - as do most of the muzzies on the planet. I wonder what the muzzie unemployment rate is, world-wide? 'Lots of good. productive prayer time.

#10 Look for them to sue. And collect unemployment in the meantime. They may not have been here long, but they've no doubt learned how the system works.

#11 I'm sure they'll be allowed to re-up in the pork chop division.
