"Tyson plant keeps Labor Day, adds a Muslim holiday" by Associated Press | August 9, 2008
NASHVILLE - Union workers and officials at a Tyson Foods plant in Tennessee said yesterday they have agreed to reinstate Labor Day as a paid holiday, and the plant will also observe the Muslim holiday Eid al-Fitr this year.
Tyson had previously agreed to drop Labor Day and substitute the Muslim holiday as part of a new five-year contract to accommodate Muslim workers at the plant in Shelbyville, which is about 50 miles south of Nashville. The decision sparked widespread criticism, from local politicians to talk radio to the Internet.
The Springdale, Ark.-based company said it requested reinstating Labor Day after complaints from plant workers and the public.
Union members voted Thursday to reinstate Labor Day as one of the plant's paid holidays and keep Eid al-Fitr as an additional paid holiday for this year only. For the remainder of the contract, workers will have Labor Day and a personal holiday, which can be used to observe Eid al-Fitr or another day the employee's supervisor approves.
Eid al-Fitr - which falls on Oct. 1 this year - marks the end of Ramadan, the Muslim holy month of fasting. Muslim civil rights advocates criticized Tyson Foods, and a union official said the company's response was disingenuous.
"This wasn't something imposed. It seems that this backtracking would be the result of the backlash from anti-Muslim hate [web]sites and Islamophobes on the Internet," said Ibrahim Hooper, spokesman for Washington, D.C.-based Council on American-Islamic Relations.
Why couldn't it have been a PRO-LABOR move? WTF?
Stuart Appelbaum, president of the union headquartered in New York, said he was surprised by the reaction to the holiday change. "I would have thought that people would have been more sensitive and sympathetic to the concern to the members of our community, who want to celebrate their religious faith," he said.
Tyson's previous decision to drop Labor Day as a paid holiday drew intense scrutiny. In a letter to the Shelbyville Times-Gazette newspaper published Thursday, the local mayor and other state elected leaders said substituting Labor Day "for a nontraditional holiday is unacceptable."Yeah, so WHY NOT BOTH (which is what they did)?
Readers, what is with the BEGRUDGING WAY in which vacation time is awarded in AmeriKa -- especially when richer controllers can take off whenever they like?
And leave it to the Zionist-controlled agenda-pushers to put this type of spin on the piece; what shit sheets they are now!
