The meat processing giant JBS Swift is facing allegations of rampantly mistreating and discriminating against Muslim employees. In lawsuits filed last week, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission says over 160 Muslim workers were subjected to abuses and infractions, including having blood and bones thrown at them, racist and denigrating graffiti, and denial of the right to worship during Ramadan. The suit says many Muslim employees were fired after leaving their plant during a break in order to worship.
