Tyson Foods poultry processing plant in Shelbyville, Tennessee, will no longer give their employees a paid holiday for Labor Day. Instead they will pay for a Muslim holiday! Employees will be paid for the Muslim holiday Eid al-Fitr which marks the end of Ramadan, the Muslim holy month of fasting, according to a news release from the Retail, Wholesale, and Department Store Union. The plant employs about 700 Muslins, many of them Somalis, who work at the plant employing 1,200 employees. Presumably the other 500 American employees will now be given a Muslim holiday, but not the American holiday, Labor Day. This is a disgrace!
Folks, this is absurd. It's un-American! How far will the politically-correct loons go in this country? I urge all who read this to pass the news along and to stop buying any Tyson product in protest to this unpatriotic action.
