Muslim Employees Sue Amazon Over Religious Accommodation and Discrimination

On Tuesday, Muslim Advocates filed a complaint (full text) with the EEOC charging that Amazon.com, Inc.'s Minneapolis facility discriminates against its Muslim Somali and east African workers. The complaint charges that, among other things, Amazon fails to reasonably accommodate employees' religious practices. It claims the company provides inadequate space and time for employees to pray, and does not accommodate Ramadan observance. Daily Caller reports on the lawsuit.
