Tyson Foods Boo Boo

[dubob]

Doesn't that mean you're targeting the "deep pocket", not the perpetrator?

[font "Comic Sans MS"][#800000][size 4]When will you understand that contract negotiations are a two sided event? The union is on one side and the company is on the other side. BOTH must agree on the individual points. The union wanted a change of holiday observance; Tyson Foods had the choice of agreeing or not agreeing with the change. They agreed. They are as much responsible for the change as the union. To use your words, the are as much a 'perpetrator' as the union.[/size][/#800000][/font]

Because the reports are conflicting. One has the the Somalis as a majority, the other has them as a minority. It can't be both.

[font "Comic Sans MS"][#800000][size 4]I gave three links to use to check out this story. Nowhere in those three links does it state that the Somalis are in the majority. It does state that Muslims are a majority at the plant and that of the 700 Muslims there approximately 250 are Somalis. Another statement says there are approximately 1,100 Somalis that live in the town where the plant is located. It was also stated that the 700 Muslims are primarily composed of 250 Somalis. Sorry, but I don't see any conflict in reports. Please be more precise about where the conflicting data is located.[/size][/#800000][/font]

Actually, it's highly relevant. If they were a majority, it becomes clear why the demand was made. It's that pesky "majority rules" thing. To not care, as you state, allows you to base your reaction/opinion on something other than the math and/or facts

[font "Comic Sans MS"][#800000][size 4]The Somalis were NOT a majority. The point is NOT relevant. There is NO math here. The facts in evidence are that the local union asked for a change in holidays and Tyson Foods gave them what they asked for during the contract negotiations. It is also a fact that Tyson Foods had the option (choice) of NOT giving them the change. Tyson Foods made the choice, not the union. Those are the facts. I don't like those facts and I disagree with the choice. I will express my displeasure by not buying Tyson Foods products and have told them as much. I hope that enough others will do the same such that Tyson Foods will suffer a significant profit loss as a consequence.[/size][/#800000][/font]

[font "Comic Sans MS"][#800000][size 4]I guess I'm done here. You obviously have different views of this travesty than I do. So be it. We shall agree to disagree and let it go at that.[/size][/#800000][/font]
