The order to remove Old Glory from work trucks or be terminated has created an army of iron-workers and riggers who will not comply. Industrial Piping Incorporated is a subcontractor for a plant expansion at CF Industries fertilizer plant in Louisiana. The crew has been working to complete the project since December 7, 2016, rolling onto the job each day with flags waving in the backs of their trucks. They are hard working Americans just doing their jobs.
Nothing had ever been said until that fateful day and then the gloves came off. Lose the flag or lose your job. The crew was furious and refused the order and showed up to work on Friday, flying their flags and prepared to lose their jobs. The crew, Jarome Hatch, Jim Lovel, Trevor Lewis, Robert Griffiths, Cody Johnson and Daryl McEntyre had the support of the community who got involved and planted American Flags in front of the CF Industry offices.

Why would you even think they would??
It’s called love of country stand your ground guys!!!
Remember everyone looks up to an ironworker
Hmmm…I wonder just why exactly the company wanted them to take their flags down? Does it offend them?! Well, I’d tell them FIRE ME BUT YOU’RE NOT GOING TO TAKE MY RIGHT AWAY TO FLY MY AMERICAN FLAG!
Stand tall, stand proud, stand for our flag. Proud of yo u.
Yes stand up for the FLAG
Throw however comes for it over brood
Dame straight we work and build this country with our hands blood sweet and tears we die doing our jobs every day, we have the right to fly the flag and to wear it . We help each other when the company’s won’t or the insurance and government turns there backs so you sumbitches just keep pushing the working man is tired of all your c**p we give everything and get very little call dirty and uneducated let’s see one of you pencil pushers Regal loan of 100000 pounds or hook up a Transformer CU water pipe so that it doesn’t leak. Without us uneducated people we all went to school for what we do even if it was in the field and after work . We are loud and laugh and act stupid sometimes. That’s because we love life and know how fast it can be gone. I am a construction workers I have been in every field and certified in electrical not uneducated. Compared to the college kids now we in construction are way overly educated.
Once little black sambo IDIOT obumma is out things will get back to normal.
