An English-language advocate says a recent union contract that will replace Labor Day with a Muslim holiday at a Tyson Foods processing plant is an example of multiculturalism run amok.
Jim Boulet of English First shares that he was flabbergasted when he read the report that the non-Islamic union employees at Shelbyville, Tennessee's Tyson plant will no longer have Labor Day as a paid holiday, but instead will have October 1 off, which corresponds to the end of the Islamic festival of Ramadan. The company says only about 250 of the 1,000 employees affected by the contract are Muslim, mostly refugees from Somalia. Boulet contends a new immigrant to America, legal or illegal, enjoys more rights than taxpaying American citizens. "A Christian or Jew in an Islamic country would not even receive close to this accommodation. You can't even build a Christian church in Saudi Arabia, let alone a synagogue. But Christians and Jews in the United States get to give up their Labor Day holiday in honor of this Muslim holiday," Boulet adds. "This is political correctness run amok. Wait and see what is going to happen to this country if we tolerate this kind of creeping Islamization." Boulet believes the story is of the same ilk as Barack Obama saying it is the duty of American children to learn Spanish.
