Muslims get last laugh at Swift: Plant must pay $365,000 to Muslims fired for walking off job

An update on this story, which played out essentially as predicted although that earlier post referred to the controversy at a different plant. The principles in play are the same. "Minnesota Plant That Fired Muslims for Taking Prayer Breaks Will Pay $365,000," from AP, November 11 (thanks to Islam In Action):
MINNEAPOLIS — Under a settlement to a federal lawsuit, up to 100 Somali Muslims who are current or former workers at Gold'n Plump Inc. will receive a total of $365,000.
The settlement was filed in Minneapolis on Friday. It sprang from allegations of religious discrimination at the company's chicken processing plants in Cold Spring and Arcadia, Wis.
The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission filed lawsuits against St. Cloud-based Gold'n Plump and the Work Connection Inc., an employment agency in St. Paul, which handled some hiring for the plant.
Under the settlement, Gold'n Plump agreed to pay $215,000 to workers who were terminated for taking prayer breaks.
The Work Connection will pay $150,000 to workers who were asked to sign a form acknowledging that they might be required to handle pork, which many Muslims consider unclean....
So the proposition that Muslims have special privileges in American society, to which others are not privy, is now enshrined in precedent.

W/o saying, this is a very dangerous precedent. And this is before Barack Hussein Obama's term begins.
Regarding the Work Connection settlement of $ 150, 000 : The Muslim workers knew ahead of time that part of the job description was to handle pork. I'm not a lawyer but it sure seems like the Work Connection shouldn't have agreed to a settlement.

What the hell, man? Giving money to a Muslim is like giving sugar to a diabetic.

Legally I don't think they should fire them if they take certain set prayer breaks every day, but if they signed something agreeing to handle pork I don't think the Muslims have a right to complain when they're asked to handle pork. Maybe I read the post wrong. They did agree to it, yes? So then why are they upset?
There was a Muslim girl who worked as a cashier at a grocery store I worked with and she rang up pork.
