It was the freaking UNION that requested the holiday!!!! Tyson just gave them what they asked for.

Regardless, it still sucks. This country is not America any longer. It is sold to the highest bidder and whatever political correct bullshit comes down the pike.

Shame on the UNION for asking and shame on TYSON for allowing this crap.

This melting pot of ours has scum floating on the surface.

I am sorry but this just pisses me the hell off! Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't labor day an AMERICAN HOLIDAY?

It's a holiday for the working man not a religious one, correct?

WTF?

Daily Horoscope for January 6

Cancer

You could struggle to display your feelings and emotions at the moment. Being so sensitive, the smallest things could hurt your feelings, but no one else is likely to realise since you retreat into your shell at these times. This will not be a conscious decision, and you'll feel frustrated at your inability to explain the hurt you suffer.
