August 5, 2004 (ORLANDO, Fla.) — Lina Morales has a beef over pork. Morales claims she was fired for eating pork products in the lunchroom of Rising Star Telecommunications, a Florida-based firm.

Company officials say they have a policy against pork because of their many Muslim workers and clients. But Morales' lawyer says there's no written policy concerning dietary restrictions.

The company says Morales was repeatedly warned about the no-pork rule and was fired for insubordination after eating a BLT at work.


I just think that is totally ridiculous! You ban pork in the workplace because of the muslim clients and workers you have? What about the non-muslim workers & clients? Anyway....I'm going to Tucson for a week. I leave on Monday. Patty & I are going to meet with a vendor. I can't wait - I love free trips, especially if they're in the Continental US. :) Our trip to the Philippines got shelved - thankfully. I'm not sure I'm ready for all that yet. Anyway, I'll have minimal access to a computer while I'm in AZ, so no updates until I return.

BTW, Watch Last Comic Standing on Tuesday night (8pm et)and vote for either Gary Gulman or John Heffron as the Last Comic Standing - they're my 2 favorite and I'd be happy if either of them wins.
