The case was originally filed against JBS USA LLC, which at the time was doing business as JBS Swift & Co. The company has since changed its name. The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission filed the case, charging race, national origin, and religious discrimination at the company’s beef-processing plant in Greeley. The EEOC’s suit alleged that JBS discriminated against employees because they were Muslim, immigrants from Somalia, and Black. According to the EEOC, JBS denied religious accommodations to Muslim employees at its Greeley plant. Specifically, the EEOC asserted that JBS denied Muslim employees the ability to pray as required by their religion, and that Muslim employees were harassed when they tried to pray during scheduled breaks or even on bathroom breaks.
