Tyson Plant Drops Labor Day for Muslim Holiday

[Xenia]

No, no, no! I am so tired of this type of thing I could scream! Accommodate here, accommodate there until they (muslims) make the rules... but hey, I'm sure they will accommodate us if/when it's the other way around! I don't eat meat because I'm a Vegan but I have a huge family that does and they will not be buying it from Tyson any longer.

"The negotiating committee made the holiday a top priority in contract talks," the union's Alabama and Mid-South Council Representative Randy Hadley said in a statement issued in June. "And we were able to get management to commit to it." http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,397645,00.html

The title alone is enough to make my shake my head. Won't bother to read the article though, i know what kind of nonsense it's going to say. Oh cool I'm a prophet, I can predict the future... LOL just kidding.

hahaha! Funny. There is a lot of truth in your comment. I feel the same way.. don't need to even read the article. I know I can't stay in a perpetual state of indignation and keep my joy but I don't want to wave things off with a yawn either... you know? I'm in this loop a lot lately.

Hey, what if I'm a Marxist/Communist? Labor Day would be my big holiday! That is discrimination to all Communists.

I used to work for a mental health center that made this all very simple. You got 10 holidays--chose which ones you want to have off and be done with it. I must say, however, that my Jewish supervisor always chose to be off on Christmas day. He was brought up as having that day off so he just stayed with it, but was also off on the big Jewish holidays, too.
