I don't buy Tyson Chicken because it's costlier than generic. I hear Tyson profits are down 92% because of higher corn prices. I think those profits will go down even more now that people are hearing how Tyson did away with Labor Day for their employees. For those who haven't heard, Tyson has replaced a federal holiday with Eid al-Fitr, a Muslim holiday. I'd expect this sort of thing in Dearbornistan, but not in Tennessee - a state in the Bible Belt. I don't think it's right for a religious holiday to supplant a federal one. I think employees can use personal days to take off for religious holidays. What do ya'll think?
That is so wrong! Where I ask you is the ACLU in all of this? Is this not an infringement of our rights? If they had replaced it with a Christian holiday you can bet they'd be all over it.
