Workers at a Tyson Foods poultry processing plant in Tennessee have opted to trade a paid Labor Day holiday for the Muslim celebration of Eid al-Fitr.
A 5-year contract approved by members of the Retail, Wholesale and Department Store Union at the Shelbyville, Tenn., plant last November includes the change to accommodate Muslim workers.

I dropped Tyson years ago. Not that I was a big consumer to begin with.
Still, they hire a lot of illegal labor.
Or, at least they did years past.
Appropriate, since Americans will no longer be “Independent” and we’ll be under Sharia law....
There. Fixed. Let's just call it for what it is.
I don’t know.
I’m guessing that Arkansas is a “right to work” state and that Tyson’s is not unionized. If it union, then they have been dhimmified.
If Obama's re-elected, the concept of American independence will be meaningless anyway.
As the Pork Producers advertise:
Pork, it is the other white meat.
H’mmm, can that be considered a “racist” statement?
I’m guessing you didn’t read the article.
This is a union contract.
The plant is in Tennessee.
LBJ day?
Do you stuff a ballot box and hunt deer at night with a spotlight to celebrate? We have had some real sleazeballs as president but LBJ has to be at or near the top of the list.
the workers are muslim
Makes since they use muslims to chop the heads off chickens.
Do the scream Alahhu akbar each time?
Than Tyson.
And Quron ain't even real chicken it is a mycoprotein grown in a vat by fungus!
lord forgive me,but I despise Muslims. I don’t want to say I hate them but I absolutely do not like them and I wish we could boot them all out. I do not trust them.
We should be celebrating on the anniversary of LBJ’s death.
Labor Day at Tyson Foods
American Flag
Outdated, misleading information about Tyson employee holidays has surfaced on the Internet. Contrary to recently circulated reports, Tyson does NOT offer its workers a paid Muslim holiday at any location.

Yum.
It’s the ideal food for a fun guy...
Well, surely, this means these Muslims will be working on Thanksgiving, Memorial Day, the 4th of July and Christmas.
You should see the price of beer at a Tampa Bay Rays game. Nine bucks for an aluminum bottle of Budweiser.
Geez,Louise.
I don’t drink beer but I cannot believe how much a can/bottle/cup of beer costs at these games.
Went to see the Movie “2016” last night.
That was pretty much my point.
