Tyson Foods gone too far?!


Question: Tyson Foods gone too far!?
Workers at the Tyson Foods poultry processing plant in Shelbyville will no longer have a paid day off on Labor Day but will instead be given the Muslim holiday Eid al-Fitr as a holiday!.

The plant included the change to accommodate the Somali Muslims who work at the plant !.

Two prayer rooms have been created at the Shelbyville Tyson Foods' plant " to allow Muslim workers to pray twice a day and return to work without leaving the plant!."

There is no such "prayer" facility at the plant for any other religious group,

Why can't the Muslims simply come to work and do their jobs like everyone else!.

Do we now have to build a temple for the Jewish workers, a church for the Christians, or maybe something for the Wiccans and Hindus!?!?

Will the political correct nonsense ever end!.Www@FoodAQ@Com


Answers:
no paid day off on labor day "celebrate working by not working and having a beer and a cookout" THATS UNAMERICAN !!! we should boycot Tyson FoodsWww@FoodAQ@Com

Excuse me, but you probably have no idea about their culture and you should not say anything until you have done your research!. Just like Christians and Jewish people, Muslim people have beliefs/customs/rituals!. I think that Tyson should not only give Muslims holidays, but Jewish and Christian holidays too!. I think it just depends on how religious you are!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

I wonder if they keep the "Somali Muslims" segregated from handling pork products, as pork, according to the Islamic faith is "unclean"!.!.!.!.!.

I wonder how they handle that!?!?!? And the Somalis!?!? Send them the eff BACK TO THEIR ANCESTRAL HOME LAND!.

IF THEY DON'T LIKE AMERICA, GET THE EFF OUT!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.PERIOD

Yes, I'm in total agreement with you!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Depends!. If they are the majority of the staff then hey majority rules!. Christians have been claiming that for years!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

You should better address this issue in the "Politics and Government" form, not here!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

I totally agree!. What is the world coming to!?Www@FoodAQ@Com

Yes this country is in trouble all right!. :(Www@FoodAQ@Com

Because Muslims are required to pray five times a day!. It's a central tenet of their faith!. Christianity, Wicca, Judaism and Hinduism have no such rules!. On top of which, Proper Muslim prayer requires a prayer mat oriented in a certain direction with the Muslim kneeling and bowing!. It would be distracting and/or dangerous for a Muslim to do that in many other places in the plant!.

It's not political correct nonsense!. It's cultural sensitivity!. It's also getting away from the presumption that everyone in this country is Christian!.

I'm a white woman who attended a high school that was fully 1/4 Arab Muslim!. Various accomodations were made for the Muslim students, and you know what!? Never inconvenienced me in the slightest!. You seem to be offended by the suggestion that America embrace people who do not act like your vision of Americans!. Last I checked, America was a country of immigrants!. Last I checked, a lot of those first immigrants came here to practice their religion in peace!.

Edit: You've posted this rant five times!. Why are you so compelled to share your xenophobia!?Www@FoodAQ@Com
