DENVER – About 190 workers, most of them immigrants from Somalia, have been fired from a Colorado meat packing plant after walking off the job during a dispute over workplace prayer.

The workers walked off their jobs at Cargill Meat Solutions in Fort Morgan, Colo., earlier this month.

Jaylani Hussein with the Council on American-Islamic Relations says that depending on the season, the Muslim workers prayed at different times of the day.
