BRILLION, Wis. (AP) — Dozens of Muslim employees at a Wisconsin snow blowers manufacturer say they are now out of a job after Ariens Company changed its prayer-on-the-job policy. The Brillion-based company changed the policy Thursday. Until then, Muslim employees were allowed to leave the production line twice a shift to pray. But Ariens is now asking employees to pray during scheduled breaks. A company representative tells WBAY-TV the “manufacturing environment does not allow for unscheduled breaks in production.”
