Small Tennessee town outraged over Tyson Foods Decision
- Thread starter ProStockJunkie
- Start date
If you were to theorize, who do you think would intentionally contaminate product?
To bad the City of San Francisco doesn't agree with that! Catholic services constantly get interrupted by the Gay militants, and the city does nothing!
Which has what to do with frozen chickens?

Tyson reinstates labor day holiday
Tyson plant adds Muslim holiday, keeps Labor Day
- 8/8/2008 2:51:53 PM
Union workers and officials at the Tyson Foods plant in Shelbyville, Tenn. have agreed to reinstate Labor Day as a paid holiday, but the plant will also observe a Muslim holiday this year.
Tyson had previously agreed to drop Labor Day and substitute Eid al-Fitr as part of a new 5-year contract. The change was meant to accommodate Muslim workers at the plant.
A news release on Friday from Tyson's corporate headquarters in Springdale, Ark., said the company requested reinstating Labor Day after some employees complained.
For the remainder of the five-year contract, there will be eight paid holidays, including Labor Day and a personal holiday that can be used to observe Eid al-Fitr or another day the employee's supervisor approves.
Good Job Tyson

Greg, first of all i didn't state it was a national holiday, it is a holiday for the people that work in this great country,*LABOR DAY*an AMERICAN HOLIDAY. i suppose there Muslim labor day falls at the same time. You apparently have a problem with Christians, i never once said i had a problem with Muslim religion, i have a problem trying to change our heritage. Maybe thinking before you speak just might help you.
What the hell does Martin Luther King have to do with this. I do have enough respect for him to write his name. MLK Day, come on!
Update 8/8/08
Thanks Jackie for the update, and thank you Tyson Foods for listening.

Re: Tyson reinstates labor day holiday
Maybe the ones who don't like union votes should drop out, quit paying union dues, and quit receiving union bennies and wages.
So, the minority of the union members lose a vote, and the employer bends and does what they want.Tyson plant adds Muslim holiday, keeps Labor Day

Re: Tyson reinstates labor day holiday
Have you heard about 'majority rules'? I understand that Liberals are trying to turn it into 'minority rules', but so far, the American way still prevails.
Americans who value their 'Labor Day' got their day off with pay and the minority Muslims got their day off with pay as well.
I call that a win-win for everyone, although I just KNOW you will disagree.

Re: Tyson reinstates labor day holiday
. From the Fox news article linked above: Tyson officials said the contract was agreed to by 80 percent of the union's 1,000 members at the plant.
So, Tyson bowed down to %20 of the union members.
Do American Muslims get both days off?
I am so glad you THINK you KNOW me well enough to have a large enough crystal ball to foretell my thoughts. But trust me, it ain't true.
Yeah, I understand majority rules. They had a vote, the majority wanted to change, and the non-muslims evidently didn't like the results. The muslims may not be in the minority in this plant, but the union workers vote is not dependent on religionHave you heard about 'majority rules'?

Re: Tyson reinstates labor day holiday
The founders (and many others) worried about the "tyranny of the majority", letting the majority trample all over those in the minority. That's what got us slavery, poll taxes, and many other similar travesties.
That is why they instituted many safeguards such as a representative form of government (congress as opposed to straight voting), the 2/3rds requirement for veto overrides, the requirement for a unanimous jury verdict, and other such things. Our government is specifically and explicitly NOT simply "majority rules", and it's not "liberals" trying to make it so -- it's been that way from the start.

1. Yes
2. Trust ME, I don't want to know you at all. No crystal ball is needed, when a person looks at the track record.
Have a nice day, now, y'hear?

Re: Tyson reinstates labor day holiday
You have been clowned in this thread since the first post, with your Americans vs Muslim attitude (BTW, Muslim is a religion, not a country), try to claim "majority rules" until proven wrong, and then bring up my "track record"? WTF ever that means.
Get off your high horse.
2. Then don't interact with me.

Re: Tyson reinstates labor day holiday
1. Clowned. You're funny
2. I can't help myself. You're too easy. But I PROMISE to try harder
3. No Americans Vs Muslim attitude, except in your head and others who race bait
4 WTF? I KNOW it is a religion.
5. The right decision was made. Labor day stays, Muslim's get their day also. Win-win.... EVERYONE is happy.
6. You know exactly what that means. It's the reason more people don't post in threads you're in.

Re: Tyson reinstates labor day holiday
To easy?
Race bait? (what does race have to do with this situation?)
People don't post more? This thread seems to be growing quickly, with many having the same view as I.
Grow up.
Wow. Can you be more insulting?
