    [b]Tyson Foods bow to pressure reinstates Labor Day[/b]

    Union workers and officials at the Tyson Foods plant in Shelbyville, Tenn. have agreed to reinstate Labor Day as a paid holiday, but the plant will also observe a Muslim holiday this year.

    Tyson had previously agreed to drop Labor Day and substitute Eid al-Fitr as part of a new 5-year contract. The change was meant to accommodate Muslim workers at the plant.

    A news release on Friday from Tyson's corporate headquarters in Springdale, Ark., said the company requested reinstating Labor Day after some employees complained.

    For the remainder of the five-year contract, there will be eight paid holidays, including Labor Day and a personal holiday that can be used to observe Eid al-Fitr or another day the employee's supervisor approves.

    I have to believe that all of the negative calls and e-mails calling for a Boycott caused Tyson to rethink their position.

    Proof boycotts work!

    All Citizens should refuse to do business with or buy products from companies that hire illegal aliens, ignore Citizens and refuse to obey the law.

    BOYCOTT SANCTUARY CITIES AND STATES LIKE Californication!
    Nonfeasance of office, the refusal to do that which should be done. Officials do not enforce the law, grounds for dismissal and prosecution for refusing to do what they were hired to do!
