Not sure where this fits in didn't want to piggyback it onto swamps stuff I tend to be a lot more middle of the rd than some posters but i still see a lot of things on both sides I can get behind.


Goodbye Tyson Foods!

American company eliminates Labor Day!

Tyson Foods eliminates Labor Day in favor of Muslim Holiday! I think that you will find this very interesting.
How do you eat an elephant? One bite at a time. How do you take over America? One American at a time.
Tyson chicken anyone?? None for me thanks! We all need to heed this message!

TYSON FOODS ELIMINATES LABOR DAY IN FAVOR OF MUSLIM HOLIDAY

Tyson Foods in Shelbyville, Tennessee has eliminated Labor Day as a paid holiday in favor of the last day of Ramadan because they have 700 Muslim employees. The fact that they have almost that many non-Muslim employees is beside the point apparently! I will no longer purchase any Tyson products. It's just one more little chunk of America that's been bitten off. If you wish to join me, then let your e-mail friends know this. If we don't stand up for something we will fall for anything. All it takes for evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing.

This was neg. by the employees who are represented by a Union. The company agreed to it after the employees voted to ratify. 80 percent of the covered employees voted Yes according to the article.

Even so, it doesn't seem right. Labor Day was never a religious holiday.....But a National one celebrating Labor

It's NOT right. THIS is AMERICA. LABOR DAY is a sacred Holiday! I know...I'm not exactly pro union, but this is almost Treason. Political correctness is one thing. Something like this is....:mad:
Appreciate the heads up on this. I'll certainly pass it around.
