Somebody wanna explain to me why this is even an issue? More than half the employees at the plant are Muslim, so they naturally wanted a Muslim holiday off. Even though Christians are in the minority, they didn't even take a Christian holiday off the list, they took a secular holiday. They should have taken Christmas off the list. When Christians are in the majority in a workplace, Muslims get no paid religious holidays. It would be only fair if the reverse were also true. Either way, the union was given the choice of 8 holidays and they made a decision based on the wishes of their membership. This just proves that conservatives and Christians have a knee jerk reaction whenever they hear the word "Muslim" and completely lose their minds.
