This is my response from Tyson…

Labor Day Still Recognized at Tyson Foods

Union Contract Provision only at Shelbyville, TN Plant

Springdale, Arkansas – August 4, 2008 – Contrary to recent reports,Labor Day is still a holiday at Tyson Foods. This issue concerns only the plant at Shelbyville, TN. The majority of employees at the
Tyson plant in Shelbyville, TN, are represented by the Retail, Wholesale and Department Stores Union (RWDSU), an American union that asked for and
received Eid al-Fitr, as one of their eight paid holidays, in place of Labor Day. This applies only to the Shelbyville plant and resulted as
part of the union contract negotiated last fall. This change does not apply to Tyson’s other 118 plants. This is not a religious accommodation rather, it is part of a union-initiated contract demand.
This change came about as a result of union demands brought to the negotiating table, and was agreed upon by Tyson in an effort to reach a contractual agreement with the union. The contract that calls
for this change was unanimously recommended by the 12-person union bargaining committee, which included three Somali employees. The contract was then overwhelmingly agreed to by 80-percent of the rank and file membership of the union at the Shelbyville plant. The Muslim population at the Shelbyville plant is primarily composed of approximately 250 Somali employees, who are political refugees, most
of whom came to the plant as a result of refugee resettlement efforts based in Nashville. They were employed at the plant through the Tennessee Department of Employment Security office.
The Shelbyville complex employs approximately 1,200 people.
Approximately 1,000 workers are covered by the union agreement at Shelbyville.

They also are providing “prayer rooms” for these employees.

Those that want Oct 1 off work on Christmas and those that want DEC 25 off work on October 1st.

How hard would that be?

But I guess that is the union’s responsibility to make it worse for everyone just for a few.

I also think you need to get your facts straight and consider your subject material before posting. Your definition of savagery seems to involve being “civilized” and killing like members of your society. Native Americans were a very civilized, honorable and law abiding, if loosely knit, society when Caucasians came to these shores. Their forms of warfare were very well ordered and fought by rules. Compensation was given to losers and winners. Although, they did kill each other. I guess that’s one thing white society gave them since whites never kill other whites, right? Although, it seems that whites seem to kill a lot of other colored people, but, hey, as long as whites don’t kill whites, right?

So stop crying that sorry drivel about US invading the “country” of the Indians.

gravitybear:
maybe if they had garbage cans they would NOT have strewn so much litter as they crossed.

Thanks !!!!!

God Bless the USA and all Americans!!!!!!!!

‘Most Americans believe in God. This is not some Christian,

raised on Christian principles, founded this nation, and this is clearly
documented. It is certainly appropriate to display it on the walls of

All we ask is that you accept ours, and live in harmony and peaceful

So once you are done complaining, whining, and griping about Our Flag,

encourage you take advantage of one other great American freedom, ‘THE
RIGHT TO LEAVE’.’

You asked to be here. So accept the country that YOU chose to accept
you!’
