I figured out that much on my own about Socio....but I still think it sucks for the 500 non-muslims who probably observed Labor day with the rest of the country.
What will happen when this union contract is up? Will Christmas and Easter be next on the list? heck, why don't they just replace all of the US holidays with Muslim ones?
Sorry, little Sally but daddy can't celebrate Thanksgiving/Christmas with you because he doesn't have it off anymore, but you can skip school on the next Muslim holiday we have so we can go to IHOP...
Yeah, but what about it sucking for the majority of the workers when they had to work on their holidays? It's a private business making a deal with their workers so the greatest number of them can observe the days off that they want to. I can't even believe this is an issue. They aren't even replacing some religious holidays with others, they are changing a day that Americans observe by having a barbecue with one that has serious religious significance to them. If this were anything else but some Muslim thing nobody would care.
These workers are working in another country that already has their established holidays. No one made them come to the US. If observing their holidays really meant that much to them, then maybe moving to another country was not such a good idea...
And no one is making the MINORITY number of employees that aren't happy with the change keep their current employment either- if they aren't happy they are free to tear their ass out the door, are they not?
But instead, lets cloud the issue with silly remarks about dropping Xmas or Thanksgiving, and stating that if people don't like it they should go back to their own damn country and other comments.
Seriously, this is starting to remind me of people that don't understand why Mexico doesn't celebrate the 4th of July (and how Bush managed to get elected not once but TWICE). LMAO.
I'm sure Socio is happy someone else is goose stepping up right behind him in his absence.
WTF
