Union Pulls A Labor Day Switcheroo

Imagine, if you will, a distinguished group of war veterans deciding one day that rather than celebrate Memorial Day or Veteran's Day, they are going to celebrate Mohammed's arrival into Medina.

Or maybe this, an esteemed group of civil rights advocates decides that Martin Luther King's Birthday will not be celebrated for a while so that it can be substituted with a holiday that commemorates Mohammed's first major military victory.

Sound silly?

Wait until you read what the Retail, Wholesale and Department Store Union has agreed to do with its new contract with Tyson Foods in Tennessee.

I don't think even Ron Gettelfinger is this dumb. Then again, maybe he just hasn't thought of it yet.
