Electrolux vacuums - Controversy

Controversy

In 2003 the US Equal Employment Opportunity Commission resolved a criticism that Muslim staff on the St. Cloud manufacturing facility weren't allowed a ample variety of breaks to look at their day by day prayers.

In 2010 and once more in 2011 complaints in opposition to the corporate had been filed by Muslim staff in Electrolux's plant in St. Cloud, Minnesota, with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. The 2010 criticism, that staff weren't in a position to observe Ramadan, was resolved. The 2011 criticism stems from the 30-minute breaks agreed to in 2010 being later lowered to 20 minutes by Electrolux.
