Well then maybe a thinking man could take Tyson to the floor with this crap. Hard to believe there are more Moo’s in that plant than Christians that the company is pandering to. But then a small membership of a union can drive stupidity for the larger non union employees if that is a right to work state (???).......dunno if it is . Unions suck !

Tell em your a Wiccan !

There are eight commonly-recognized and celebrated Wiccan or pagan holidays , Take make believe holidays like the Moo’s do !......hell it’s not like they don’t sacrifice a chicken or two at that place anyway.

Insanity is upon us something fierce !

They tell all their Muslim workers that they are Jewish chickens.

OK, I guess it doesn’t make much difference which hand they use to contaminate the chicken!

Tyson will be filing bankruptcy within two years.

They’re not getting another dime out of me, and prior to this, they had a lock on the single largest piece of my grocery shopping dollars every week.

Tyson also makes and packages Kroger chicken, which I have read is injected with water to increase the weight and make it “look better.” I don’t doubt this at all, as I made the mistake of buying some of their chicken thighs, which shrank to nearly nothing after cooking.

Same here WRT not buying Tyson ANYTHING since Clinton. My only regret is that I can’t start boycotting them over this...

From Wikipedia, so take it for what it's worth:

Tyson Foods is one of largest U.S. marketers of value-added chicken, beef and pork to retail grocers, broad line foodservice distributors and national fast food and full service restaurant chains; fresh beef and pork; frozen and fully-cooked chicken, beef and pork products; case-ready beef and pork; supermarket deli chicken products; meat toppings for the pizza industry and retail frozen pizza; club store chicken, beef and pork; ground beef and flour tortillas.

It supplies all Yum! Brands chains that use chicken (including KFC and Taco Bell), as well as McDonald's, Burger King, Wendy's, Wal-Mart, Kroger, Costco, IGA, Beef O'Brady's, small restaurant businesses, and prisons.

But here’s what I want to know. How did a small group of muslim employees manage to bully an American corporation and a labor union into replacing a secular holiday paying homage to the American worker....with a religious holiday honoring Allah.

This is how it all started in Europe. They’ve got a huge muslim population they fail to recognize as a potential problem hoping if they don’t see it...that it will go away.

And there are certain factions and a political party in this contry hoping for the same thing.

I wonder if the people who get upset over things like prayers before a football game and hanging the Ten Commandments in a courtroom will get upset over this?

Maybe the lurking primitives from Skins Island can answer that last question for us.

BTW DUmmies we’re having a good laugh at you here:

So they're shunning a national, patriotic holiday in favor a religious holiday celebrated mostly by people who don't care that the worst atrocities committed today are committed by Muslims and that one of them was a murderous attack on the United States.

Way to rub it in Tyson! I'll never buy your chicken again.

Sadly, there’s enough virulent anti-American and/or indifferent libs, hypocrats, communist/socialist, Clintons to keep Tyson afloat and then some.

But at least I feel better about not buying Tyson AND educating those around me about these vermin.

This PC drive to legitimize Islam as all-American is just sick and historically inaccurate. That Tyson gave into to this is a horror. American Muslims should be given all the rights of other Americans but to erase Labor Day for one of their holidays is silly and again, unhistorical. Fawning over Islam is what Britain, Spain, France and Germany have done and they have rued the day they did.

I’ll eat a week-old dead goat covered with maggots before I eat a Tyson chicken again.
