Tyson Plant Reinstates Labor Day
SHELBYVILLE, Tenn. - 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. TEAM AMERICA "Edited - language removed, Z-man" YEAH

I gotta say......the South is a completely different country from mine. In my land, there is no possible way an employer could get a union to agree to drop Labor Day from a holiday list. No way whatsoever. Nope. Ain't gonna happen.
