But if you're an employee covered by this contract, you will have to forego Labor Day and celebrate with the Muslims in October.
Nice.
You join a union, you get what they bargain for. Based on the reply of the email I don’t see a gripe on this issue.
Don't you think the Union members will be dropping out of the Union at a fast clip after this? I know I would.
And if they don’t like it they should leave the union.
Looks pretty straight forward, union asked for a holiday switch, company said 8 holidays is 8 holidays we really don’t care what the exact dates are, and now this union celebrates eid instead of commie-day.
That’s the way the federal government enforces it’s regulations (not laws passed by our representatives). If states don’t obey the regulations, states won’t get federal money.
Like the last energy crisis. If states didn’t adopt the 55 mph speed limit, they would not get highway funds. With federal funds for public schools, it’s ‘No Child Left Behind’.
It’s a form of enslavement.
You nailed it! What this means is that the other 500 non-muslem employees, out of 1200 union employees in this plant, are forced to observe a muslem holiday. If the muslems are so keen on observing this day, let them take a vacation day, and keep the good old American holiday, Labor Day, instead.
