You take all the fun out of FR by posting facts.
I quit buying Tyson a long time ago.
It seemed every time I bought one of their meat products it was spoiled and I had to take it back to store.
What? is this satire?
Tyson is long gone from our house. My wife says it isn’t fresh and smells bad when cooked.
Pilgrim’s Pride.
We don’t buy any meat from Walmart. In fact, I don’t think my wife goes there anymore anyway. I sure don’t and have not set foot in a Walmart in years.
I trade with the local merchants. Better quality, better service and only a bit higher. Same for the big box stores. What good does it do to save 10% on a blister pack of screws when more than 90% of the screws strip or twist off? Chinese junk is just JUNK. I avoid it any way possible.
This is an old article. Also, it sounds like the workers union not Tyson requested the change. Dont get me wrong, I have a big problem with this. This is AMERICA and we should be celebrating American holidays. When this article was first posted, I remember alot of angry pings because labor day was started by unions.
N&V - this is a 2008 story ?
They're always super good and fresh.
I don't know why anyone thinks there's a savings shopping at Walmart.
Besides, I can't deal with the people who walk around in Walmart. Too weird for me
“Still, they hire a lot of illegal labor”
Unfortunatly, this is one of those jobs Americans refuse to do. We have a large chicken producer in central Wisconsin. Starting pay is great - over $13.00/hour. They can never find or keep help. I guess slaughtering chickens 8 hours a day gets old fast. And it’s much easier to sit back and live off the government.
Sounds like the workers decided this.
Workers at a Tyson Foods poultry processing plant in Tennessee have opted to trade a paid Labor Day holiday for the Muslim celebration of Eid al-Fitr.
Maybe they get this voted in, then demand Labor Day, too since it is a national holiday.

i would use the contact customer service box on the bottom and either let them know or get information as to where you can register with them the fact you will never buy their products again.
I haven’t bought a Tyson product in over 10 years. Never will either.
No more Tyson Chickens for me.
Didn’t they support Bill Clinton too?
Moslems in the food supply chain.
Part of the facts anyway. Does Tyson have EID as a paid holiday?
Their press release studiously avoids saying one way or another.
Jim Wells County is having a “box 13” ballot box look-alike contest in honor of LBJ, our 36th President - and in anticipation of November’s election ...
It is, but a private organization is under no obligation to observe it.
Maybe.
But I posted it in good faith, having checked the source article and believing that Snopes (ha!) confirmed it.
Goodby Tyson! We will not miss you!
Did you even check the date of the article before posting?
The muzzies tried to get them to change the holiday and it was shot down in flames. FReepers were a large part of the reason for the idea being beaten back. We wore Tyson out with phone calls and emails after I posted the original article about it from the Shelbyville Times-Gazette.
I don’t know why this keeps popping up on the ‘net like it’s current news.
