Your characterization of what has occurred is incorrect. It was a Union demand. Your beef is with them. Tyson didn't "decide" to do this, they capitulated. There is a world of difference, and I am unsure why you didn't see that distinction.
And depending on which report you believe, the Somalis that requested this were, or were not, a majority voting bloc of the Retail, Wholesale and Department Stores Union.
If they were a majority, welcome to "majority rules" (also known as "democracy", believe it or not). If they were a minority, welcome to political correctness run amok, and shame on the Union for also capitulating.
This is not a case of big, bad, corporate America.
