Nebraska Meatpacking plant officials accused of discriminating against dozens of Somali Muslim workers have offered to tweak break times to help accommodate prayer demands. If the dozens of Muslim workers and Swift & Co. can agree on details, a resolution could defuse the dispute that started when 120 workers at the plant abruptly quit because they weren't allowed to pray at sunset. But the local workers' union president said that changing break times might not be feasible for other plant workers.
