Tyson Foods Drops Labor Day Adds Muslim Holiday
I am pasting a link below to an article in today's Tennessean newspaper in Nashville.
Tyson Foods is dropping Labor Day as a paid Holiday and adding a Muslim Holiday as one.
Arghhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

"We did not wear uniforms. The lady workers dressed in the current fashions of the day, ...silks...satins...jewels or whatever they happened to possess. They were very smartly turned out, so that they made an impressive appearance on the streets where a large part of our work was conducted in the early years.

What about the Jewish holidays?
Day of Pentecost?

Re: Tyson Foods Drops Labor Day Adds Muslim Holida
Incredible that a company is making a religous Holiday a paid Holiday when that religion represents less than one half of one percent of the population of the USA.
That would be like making the first night of the UPC General Conference a paid Holiday at some large Corporation because a handful of UPC people work for them.

What you are failing to realize is that this is just at the Shelbyville plant and at that plant the muslims represent 700 out of 1200 employees. Sept 1 or Oct. 1.... I am sure the heathens (formerly called Christians or Agnostics or Atheists) are just as pleased as punch to have the one day off as the other.

Re: Tyson Foods Drops Labor Day Adds Muslim Holida
Why would this be a problem? Pagan celebrations are already found on most “Christian” calendars. They just renamed them “Christmas” and “Easter.”

Re: Tyson Foods Drops Labor Day Adds Muslim Holida
I hate chickens. Wouldn't hurt my feelings if someone came by and stole ours. They are nasty and stupid! How can a company change a national holiday? Do they have a union?
I know, I know, read the article Cindy. argh!!!!
Disclaimer: If you do come by to steal our chickens don't blame me if you get shot!!!!!!!!!!! And our puppy Emily lives next door she might take exception to you stealing the chickens too. BTW she is a ST. Bernard and able to leap tall people in a single bound, and squash them.

Re: Tyson Foods Drops Labor Day Adds Muslim Holida
It was part of a bargaining agreement with the union. That explains it. Muslims make up a majority of the work force. Democracy in action.

Re: Tyson Foods Drops Labor Day Adds Muslim Holida
I just might find myself buying other brands of chickens.
This trend does NOT need to be followed!

I WILL NOT BUY TYSON FOODS IN THE STORES and I am trying to completely avoid eating chicken. IF more people stop buying TYSON, that might get their attention.
