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.
Read the remarks of the men willing to give up their livelihood to stand up for the principles and the country they love on the following page.
I read, that CF Industries has a reason, that the flag could fall off the vehicle, while driving around the parking lot. The danger would be, that it could “impale” someone. I understand that reasoning, but from my understanding, flags have been on vehicles for a long time. So why just now, are they considered a hazard? I smell bad politics, somehow this traces back to money. Someone is getting paid under the table, to devalue CF Industries, so it is ripe for purchase.
Wth, why should the american people have to be ashamed to put up the flag, other countries are flying their flags high with pride.
Ship those un-American liberals out of this country, they do not deserve to live here!
Stand your ground!
Indeed
Good for them
Yes. Great job ironworkers
Stand firm.
God bless America. ..love trump
American Flag on American Soil.
