Allah Snackbar: BOYCOTT TYSON FOODS (AND THE STATE DEPT)

The State Department has been importing entire Muslim communities for the express purpose of companies like Tyson. The jihad is coming quietly to American by  the intentional building of Muslim populations in small to medium American cities. Whole communities are being importing from countries like Somalia with the tacit approval of the State Department and the complicity of companies like Clintonista backed Tyson Foods.

Its always a shock to people when they first find out how Refugee Resettlement works. 

Now we have the poisonous fruit of this evil.

Watch this video: TYSON REPLACES LABOR DAY WITH MUSLIM HOLIDAY (Tyson said "this isn't a religious accomodation") (hat tip Kasper)

Tyson replaces Labor Day with Muslim Eid al-Fitr Chicken company:

Workers wanted Islamic religious event recognized WND

Food workers at the Shelbyville, Tenn., plant for Tyson Foods, which boasts on its corporate website that it strives "to honor God," will have time off for Eid al-Fitr, the Muslim holiday closing the month of Ramadan, instead of the American tradition Labor Day.

Officials with the company told WND the labor union representing the 1,200 plant workers, including about 700 immigrants from Somalia who largely are Muslim, sought the holiday change in the new five-year contract, and the company agreed.

Officials with the Retail, Wholesale and Department Store Union issue a press statement about the new "contract [that] creates an additional paid holiday, [Eid al-Fitr,] a Muslim holiday that occurs toward the end of Ramadan."

A spokeswoman at the union's office told WND no one was in the office today who could comment on the request.

To the Shelbyville Times-Gazette, Gary Mickelson, Tyson's media chief, said there is no new holiday, but at the union's request the company agreed to discontinue the Labor Day holiday and implement Eid al-Fitr.

I strongly urge Atlas readers to write Tyson Foods. This is America.

Remember. Muslims for Obama had their wish list made out if Obama won..this was one of their wishes. Looks like Tyson jumped the gun.And how appropiate because Tyson Foods (I have a friend who is an inspector) is the islamics of the slaughter houses. I think that would be a wonderful place for Muslims to work. Legal torture on animals via slaughter houses.Tyson Foods don't know a damm thing about EID but I assure you they are about to find out. Does anyone believe this offering by Tyson is all the muslims want? They want the whole thing. Complete with hauling animals out in the streets and slicing their throats while small children watch and eat popcorn. I have a wish list myself.DEPORT all the sobs and shut the borders down.

Rise Up,

That's right on the top of my wish list too, but I'm pretty sure you and I will be considered naughty and are more likely to receive a lump of coal in our stockings this Christmas (or Labor Day?) while the whining, victimized Muslims laugh their butts off.

When I was an Air Force wife back in the 90's and Clinton was elected I remember that the chicken I bought at the commissary on base changed from whatever it had been (I honestly don't remember) to Tyson's. I remember somebody back then told me it was because Hillary had demanded it be changed. Interesting that "Mr. Tyson, family members and company executives gave $29,000 to Mr. Clinton's presidential campaign," according to this article from August 1994:
http://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html?res=9404E0DF1139F93BA1575BC0A962958260&sec=&spon=&pagewanted=4

We were screwed way before we ever realized we hadn't been kissed.

Let me try that again.

No problem for me to boycott them as I have been doing so for as long as I can remember. Wouldn't eat their chicken if it was the last food on Earth. Of course, I'm getting old so it doesn't matter much.

A passive boycott of Tyson will not do much, but an active boycott against a distributor of perishable foods ? Could get ugly just before Tyson goes bankrupt. It wouldn't hurt to remind them of that.

I haven't eaten Tyson Food Products for over 15 years.

What an outrage!!! I have sent them a letter and will no longer buy any Tyson product. I can't wait to share this with my friends who have large families and I'm sure buy Tyson foods now and then.

Think of the irony - A labor union promoting the elimination of LABOR DAY as a holiday in exchange for a religious holiday. Whores, big and small.

Allah is Moloch. If you're going to celebrate his holidays, you are bowing down to a child-eating god.

That has proved to be a dangerous decision throughout history.

Labor Day Reinstated as Paid Holiday at Shelbyville, TN, Plant
Tyson Foods Requested Change from Union

Springdale, Arkansas – August 8, 2008 - Tyson Foods, Inc. announced today it has reached a new agreement with the Retail, Wholesale and Department Store Union (RWDSU), an American union, reinstating Labor Day as one of the designated paid holidays under the contract for covered employees in the Shelbyville, Tennessee, plant.

Tyson made this request on behalf of its Shelbyville plant employees, some of whom had expressed concern about the new contract provisions relative to paid holidays. In an effort to be responsive, Tyson asked the union to reopen the contract to address the holiday issue, and the union agreed to do so. The union membership voted overwhelmingly Thursday to reinstate Labor Day as one of the plant’s paid holidays, while keeping Eid al-Fitr as an additional paid holiday for this year only. This means that in 2008 only, Shelbyville employees will have nine paid holidays.

For the remainder of the five-year contract period, the eight paid holidays will include: New Year’s Day, Martin Luther King Day, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day, Christmas Day and a Personal Holiday, which could either be the employee’s birthday, Eid al-Fitr or another day requested and approved by their supervisor.

This issue concerns only the plant at Shelbyville, Tennessee. Labor Day has always been celebrated, and continues to be, at the other 118 Tyson plants across the country.

The Shelbyville complex employs approximately 1,200 people. Approximately 1,000 workers are covered by the RWDSU union agreement at that location.

Note: The Shelbyville plant has 250 Somali employees, not 700, as was previously erroneously reported. They were employed at the plant via the Tennessee Department of Employment Security.

Ayn Rand at 100: "Yours is the Glory"

  • Aynrandstamp_1

  • Speaking to the unnamed, unchampioned, beating heart of her new land, Ayn was to say: 'Yours is the glory.'"
    A man whose ability and independence leads others to reject him, but who perseveres nevertheless to achieve his values. Man as an individual, as a creator. What's the most depraved type of human being? Not a sadist or a murderer or a sex maniac or a dictator; "The man without a purpose." Yet most people seem to go through their lives without a clearly defined purpose.

  • Life has Loveliness to sell,
    All beautiful and splendid things,
    Blue waves whitened on a cliff,
    Soaring fires that sways and swing,
    And children's faces looking up,
    Holding wonder like a cup

    Life has Loveliness to sell,
    Music like a curve of Gold,
    Scent of pinetrees in the rain,
    Eyes that love you, arms that hold,
    And for your spirit's still delight,
    Holy stars that star the night.

    Spend all you have for loveliness,
    Buy it and never count the cost;
    For one white singing hour of Peace
    Count many a year of strife well lost
    And for a breath of ecstasy
    Give all you have been, or could be.
