I agree with you to an extent, but on the other hand, we leave it up to individuals or unions to negotiate many, many benefits. Flexible schedules, for example, often get negotiated by individuals on a per-case basis. Salaries, too. So when, for example, a woman's salary is lower than her male counterparts, she is often told that it is lower because she didn't negotiate better. When one employee is able to negotiate working from home or having a flexible schedule to pick up kids and a different employee is not (for whatever reason), that is again chalked up to an individuals negotiation skills. I guess I'm struggling to see how this is fundamentally different.
We will probably have to agree to disagree, my neighbor to the North, but the difference for me is, I don't see other people accepting jobs and then making demands after they get them. While we don't know if this was the case in all of these circumstances, it seems like a common theme. In addition, I've read several articles where the companies tried to make things work and it wasn't enough, and I have a problem with that. There must be flexibility on both sides, not just one.
Look, people are employed to work. Most places allow one or two paid breaks and an unpaid lunch period. No employer should be expected to accommodate more breaks for Muslims than other employees get. And how staff is deployed (how many are required to "man" an operation) is within the purview of the employer.
If prospective employees don't like that, they shouldn't accept the job.

This is totally correct. Even as a salaried employee I certainly couldn't have taken 5 breaks on work time. Neither should they.
Well these meat packing plants hire them...so they are going to have to deal with the issue.
