U.S. holiday for Muslims

AK shooter · 08-01-2008, 08:07 PM

It seems that some workers for Tyson have lost their paid Labor Day holiday to a Muslim religious holiday. http://www.wsmv.com/news/17063986/detail.html#-

My only real shock at this story is that I had NO idea so many illegals from Mexico were muslims... Who knew? (After all, it IS Tyson Meats we're talking about here, right?)

bush luv · 08-02-2008, 07:11 PM

I thought they were 99.9% catholic? Or are multiple types/countries of foreigners coming in now

uzitiger · 08-02-2008, 08:05 PM

These illegals are called OTMs (other than Mexicans). We should give them an infidel welcome and run them out of here before they turn this country into another Iran. Dearborn, Michigan has some areas that look like an Arab country. If they want Jihad let's give it to the MFs, they'll lose.

the terrorists have turned left on Bakka Lakkka Dakka street!

God forbid we should add a holiday to the 8 paid days in the year...but that would be too costly. The corporate american engine grinds away....at the cost of blue collar quality of life.....chug chug chug chug chug chug chug.

Arkansas is a right to work state. No unions.

Located in NW Arkansas, exactly right next door to the Waton's WalMart. Walmart is terrified of unions, yet supports Obama, whom states he is for them.

Exactly as fishy as Tyson Foods, powered by Hispanics, demanding a Muslim Holiday. You'd think Don Tyson would be happy with "Day of the Dead".

None of this has anything to do with the workers ... you and me, nor Jose, nor Hussain.

Gotta see the Big House, gotta look on the Hill.

hakentt · 08-03-2008, 07:46 PM

liberty and justice for all will get you multi culti-nation. So what is real original america that is fading away? The north-western european immigrants and some native americans? Is that how america should be? As long as you look like founding fathers then you can be american? To me America was multi-culty sense day one, you had english and indians and in florida spain just came so sense day one it is multi-culti nation.

Maybe they should have a "blow yourself up for Allah" holiday...???

Labor Day Reinstated as Paid Holiday at Shelbyville, TN, Plant
Tyson Foods Requested Change from Union
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Springdale, Arkansas - August 8, 2008 - Tyson Foods, Inc. announced
today it has reached a new agreement with the Retail, Wholesale and
Department Store Union (RWDSU), an American union, reinstating Labor Day as
one of the designated paid holidays under the contract for covered employees
in the Shelbyville, Tennessee, plant.

Tyson made this request on behalf of its Shelbyville plant employees, some
of whom had expressed concern about the new contract provisions relative
to paid holidays. In an effort to be responsive, Tyson asked the union to
reopen the contract to address the holiday issue, and the union agreed to
do so. The union membership voted overwhelmingly Thursday to reinstate Labor
Day as one of the plant's paid holidays, while keeping Eid al-Fitr as an additional
paid holiday for this year only. This means that in 2008 only, Shelbyville employees
will have nine paid holidays.

For the remainder of the five-year contract period, the eight paid holidays will include:
New Year's Day, Martin Luther King Day, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day,
Thanksgiving Day, Christmas Day and a Personal Holiday, which could either be the employee's
birthday, Eid al-Fitr or another day requested and approved by their supervisor.

This issue concerns only the plant at Shelbyville, Tennessee. Labor Day has always been
celebrated, and continues to be, at the other 118 Tyson plants across the country.

The Shelbyville complex employs approximately 1,200 people. Approximately 1,000 workers are
covered by the RWDSU union agreement at that location.
