Tyson Foods Caves To Union Demands

Unions With Dhimmitude

From World Net Daily:
Gives Somali muslims a holiday and takes Labor Day off the schedule.

From the Shelbyville Times-Gazette:
Scroll down and read some of the comments on the T-G page

Workers at Tyson Foods' poultry processing plant in Shelbyville will no longer have a paid day off on Labor Day, but will instead take the Muslim holiday of Eid al-Fitr in the fall. A recent press release from the Retail, Wholesale and Department Store Union (RWDSU) stated that a new contract at the Shelbyville facility "implements a new holiday to accommodate the ... Muslim workers at the plant." The RWDSU stated that "the five-year contract creates an additional paid holiday, Iidal Fitil, a Muslim holiday that occurs toward the end of Ramadan."
Eid al-Fitr falls on Oct. 1 this year. Tyson's Director of Media Relations, Gary Mickelson, stated that while the new contract does not provide an additional holiday, as the union claimed, "the new contract includes eight paid holidays, which is the same number provided in the old contract."

"However, the union leadership did request and receive Eid al-Fitr (which is apparently spelled various ways including Id al-Fitr and Eid ul-Fitr) as a paid holiday in place of Labor Day," Mickelson confirmed in an e-mail to the T-G.

Well, it seems the preferred chicken king of the klintoon's has caved and said the religious preferences of 700 of the 1200 workers at its Shelbyville plant outweigh American traditional values and labor's OWN established policies. It was the unions after all that worked to establish Labor Day as a day of recognition for the efforts of American workers. That'd be you and me friends and neighbors.

God Bless Right to Work.

Wampler-Longacre makes a good product. I spent some time up around New Market, Timbreville, Alba, and Harrisonburg about 25 years ago, installing fuel tanks for them.

What would have happend if Tyson had said No to the holiday deal and instead said,
"Hey, we're not going to take away Labor Day, but you can have your ramalamadingdong at the same time?"

A bunch of pissed off muslims???
Gee that's never happened before.
Maybe they would have been so pissed they went back to Somalia.

They're using our freedoms to get their way which diminishes the freedom they used to get their way.
The mind reels.
