SHELBYVILLE, Tenn. - Workers at the Tyson Foods poultry processing plant in Shelbyville will no longer have a paid day off on Labor Day but will instead be given the Muslim holiday Eid al-Fitr as a holiday...

From chicken to fish..Tyson does it all. They have been a bad actor in this immigration thing for years.
They are hauling in Somali’s from big cities to work in these small town’s on a “company store” basis. They supposedly are legal refugees..they have to find some down and out people so they can pay low wages.
It is hard to avoid them at the grocery store, since they pack for others and do fresh and frozen. Look for the small print. I’ve been avoiding them for years.
You can’t blame legal workers for asking for what they want to work these jobs..if a majority are muslim..well they have the right to negotiate for any holiday they want.

"Shortage of Illegal Mexicans?"

Exactly!

Just a very few years ago, Tyson's in Shub'vull had an enormous number of illegal Mexican employees.
Since the INS has begun busting employers of illegals, they must have changed.

At the very most they should offer the Muslims the option to either take Labor Day or EID. That might be somewhat reasonable. But to do away with Labor Day, a national holiday, is unacceptable. And no prayer rooms.

Can they do that? Labor day is a federal holiday but the one they have swaped for is a religious holiday?

According to Islamic law, they need also to have prayers said on the processing line as the chickens throats are slashed and they choke to death on their own blood.

EID is a national holiday too. The nation is Islam and Mecca is its capital.

They walk among the kufir but pledge allegiance to a foreign theocratic power.

Slowly they creep....

This is one time I will encourage all my friends to not buy Tyson anything.
There has to be a limit to what we will put up with.

Tyson sellout!

Maybe we can make a deal with the Mexicans.

Most Muslims in the meat packing industry are from northeastern and central Africa, where ethnic genocide and starvation are all too common.

Most have entered the USA on some kind of compassionate visa.

A majority of the meat workers are women, possibly because many African Muslim males feel that such work is humiliating.

In many of Africa’s poorest countries, it is quite common for women to do most of the manual labor.

If you shop at Wally World even their packaged raw beef is from Tyson. I saw them taking it out of the boxes one night. Roast=Tyson Foods etc.

Well, I have bought Tyson products many times, but will henceforth look to alternatives. I’m sure there are many Moslims about to take my place.

I see. Are these muslims in the meat industry very dark black people with the lines accross their foreheads?

I must confess to being torn on this one. Tysons (big Clinton supporters) are dissing Big Labor by killing off Labor Day as a holiday, and substituting Muzzie Day. On some levels this is a real laugher.

And not that I need a reason to boycott Tyson, but I guess in the end I’d favor our own misguided unionists over Muslim fifth columnists. And another thing - I don’t want the Muslim fifth columnists working around my damned food!

... celebrating the day the Muslims will kill every Jew on the planet, and enslave mankind ...

Are you talking about Mooselimbs or the Goa'uld?

I have no idea.

Strict Muslim women usually wear a head covering, so their foreheads are concealed.

In Minnesota, female Sudanese meat packers have sued to overturn the state and federal safety laws that pertain to loose fitting clothing that might catch in machinery.

The Sudanese women, as I recall, have also refused to wear zip up coveralls, because they resemble pants, which is forbidden by their religion.

Our family has studiously avoided buying Tyson products for many years - since I first learned they were linked to the Clintonistas.
