I’ll Leave It to You to Decide

As it’s already been a long day.

Plant Drops Labor Day For Muslim Holiday
More Than Half Of Tyson Plant’s Workforce Muslim
Some workers at a local plant will no longer to be able to take their Labor Day holiday because of religious reasons.
Workers at the Tyson Foods poultry processing plant in Shelbyville will no longer have a paid day off on Labor Day but will instead be granted the Muslim holiday Eid al-Fitr.
According to a news release from the Retail, Wholesale and Department Store Union, a new five-year contract at the plant included the change to accommodate Muslim workers at the plant.

But I’d be calling the ACLU if I was an AMERICAN union worker who just lost a paid Labor Day.

   Yet another reason to not buy Tyson products (aside from the fact that they suck).
