My son, Tyson must go the way of the Bison

Tyson at the Shelbyville, Tenn., plant last November includes a change to accommodate Muslim workers.

The change, which does not affect the company's 118 other plants, exchanges Labor Day for the Muslim holiday that marks the end of Ramadan. The new contract, negotiated last fall, also gives Muslim workers a prayer room.

"Eid al-Fitr is one of eight paid holidays for all team members covered by the contract, while Labor Day is not a paid holiday," Gary Mickelson, Tyson's media relations director, told the Shelbyville Times-Gazette.

But Tyson spokeswoman Libby Lawson told FOXNews.com that employees who are not a member of the union at that plant would still be eligible for Labor Day as a paid holiday. The seven additional paid holidays are the employee's birthday, New Year's Day, Martin Luther King Jr. Day, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Thanksgiving and Christmas, Mickelson said.

"Given the nature of our work, many, many, many times we have to work holidays anyway, and Labor Day is usually one of those holidays that our workers have to work," Lawson said. "And, of course, they are paid holiday pay when they have to work any holiday that is recognized at our facility."

However i protest any one changing the United States Holidays. Muslims want off for a religous holiday...no problem. Eliminate a national holiday, no way.

Personally no more tyson for me. Personally I don't want muslims touching my food while we are on a jihad watch. You believe in the Koran, you are the enemy. I call it as I see it
