No Tyson foods, and I'm not talking Marty !!

[NumeroUno]

American Company eliminates Labor Day. . .

The takeover continues, slowly but surely.

Tyson Foods eliminates Labor Day in favor of a Muslim Holiday.

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? We all need to
heed this message.

Tyson Food 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. Tennessee is the newest Hot-Bed for Muslim
immigration. According to the 2010 Government Census more Muslims are
flocking to Tennessee than any other state in the union.

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.

Not sure I see the problem? The workers voted on it and those that wished to still have Labor day could? This was a negotiation with one plant?? There are several companine in the New York metro are that have orthodox jewish owners that are closed on Saturday(the sabbath) and High Holy Days

It is not a "takeover" It is one plant where the workers negotiated a change

Contrary to recently circulated reports, Tyson does NOT offer its workers a paid Muslim holiday at any location.

A labor union vote briefly changed the Labor Day holiday at the company’s Shelbyville, Tennessee, poultry plant in 2008. Tyson Foods did not initiate the change and immediately negotiated with the union to reinstate Labor Day as a paid holiday, resolving the matter more than three years ago.
Labor Day continues to be one of the paid holidays for Team Members at all of the company’s U.S. plants.

At Tyson, we take pride in supporting our country and efforts to protect our way of life. Here are a few of the things the company and its Team Members do in support of our military Team Members and their families.

• Tyson provides differential pay for all its Team Members called to active military duty, making up the difference between military compensation and pay they normally receive from Tyson. Since September 11, 2001, Tyson has provided $2 million in differential pay to almost 400 employees.

• Tyson Foods is a supporter of Northwest Arkansas “Honor Flight,” a program that transports military veterans free of charge to Washington, D.C., to visit the World War II memorial and other military memorials. Since 2009, the company has helped coordinate and finance three of these flights for more than 270 World War II veterans.

• Tyson Foods has a Veterans Business Resource Group for military veterans employed at the company’s corporate headquarters. This group, like the company’s other Business Resource Groups, provides an avenue for our Team Members to network and develop their professional knowledge and skills.

• The people of Tyson Foods have sent holiday care packages to fellow employees, family members and friends serving the U.S. military in the Middle East since 2004. In 2009, the company and its employees also provided financial support to a program designed to help wounded soldiers who have served there.

• In 2010, Tyson awarded a $75,000 “challenge” grant to an organization seeking to provide more burial space for military veterans at the National Cemetery in Fayetteville, Ark. The Regional National Cemetery Improvement Corp. is using the money to support the group’s mission of securing nearby land.

"Tyson officials said the contract was agreed to by 80 percent of the union's 1,000 members at the plant."

What is wrong with America? They are allowing the workers a vote? You are right Uno! BOYCOTT TYSON CHICKEN! Lets put an end to the day when we allowed our working class to have a say with a vote. The unions should never allow a non Christian to vote. Stay tuned for more on Fox.

UNO you don't have to stop eating chicken, you need to take your foot out of your mouth.

Dugout Dad can you get his back please. That is not a Jason Collins joke. I don't joke about that since I am a Christian as well. Just not prejudice. We will all have to answer in the end. God bless America!

Clam,
Why would I have to get my foot out of my mouth? Don't kill the messenger. Someone sent it to me I thought it was interesting so I posted it.

You obviously know way more about this than I do. Does Tyson give there employees a paid Muslim holiday? I have no idea if this is true is it?

There is a lot of crap that keeps circulating via emails. Personally, I check snopes.com before I forward or post any of them.

According to Snopes - Tyson Foods Muslim Holiday, it was passed as the email says, but Tyson quickly renegotiated it. For 2008 only, the Muslim holiday was added as an additional paid holiday. For the remainder of the 5-year contract, employees received a personal day that could be used for any reason, including the Muslim holiday. That contract should have ended after last year.

I don't need to go to snopes I have all you guys

Clam, when was the last time you had an original thought without being influenced by your union? I bet it has been a while.
