JBS Swift & Co. workers protest a compromise reached to accommodate prayer for about 500 Somolian meatpacking plant workers in Grand Island, Neb., on Wednesday, September 17, 2008, at about 3:30 p.m. The objection — a change in the break schedule that leaves B shift workers shorted of hours Monday through Friday and forces them to work Saturday to get at least 40 hours in.

The situation at Swift has been resolved since this photo was taken.
