American company eliminates Labor Day

Tyson Foods eliminates Labor Day in favor of Muslim Holiday!

How do you eat an elephant? One bite at a time. How do you take over America? One American at a time. Tyson chicken anyone?? None for me thanks!!!! We all need to heed this message!!!!!

Tyson Food in Shelbyville, Tennessee has eliminated Labor Day as a paid holiday in favor of the last day of Ramadan because they have 700 Muslim employees. Tennessee is the newest Hot-Bed for Muslim immigration. According to the 2010 Government Census more Muslims are flocking to Tennessee than any other state in the union.

I will no longer purchase any Tyson products. It's just one more little chunk of America that's been bitten off. If you wish to join me, then let your e-mail friends know this. If we don't stand up for something we will fall for anything. All it takes for evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing.

Labor Day at Tyson Foods

Labor Day at Tyson Foods

Outdated, misleading information about employee holidays has surfaced on the Internet. Tyson Foods strives to be a faith-friendly company. However, contrary to recently circulated reports, Tyson does NOT offer its workers a paid Muslim holiday at any location. In addition, Labor Day continues to be a paid holiday for all Team Members at the company’s U.S. plants. The incorrect information being spread on the Internet stems from a 2008 union-related matter at the company’s Shelbyville, Tennessee, plant. The matter was resolved in August 2008.
