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.

The American flag has every right to flag on American soil. Leave the flag alone
People don’t like it, LEAVE
Thank you for standing for the US flag.
Fly it high$#%&!@*this b******t start beating the$#%&!@*out of these jerkoffs
That’s what Real Americans do…
I thought this was America , it pisses me off that they got away with saying the confederate flag was racist. We need a real president to stand up for all americans and quit worrying about hurting someones feelings . People should be proud to be here and have the opportunity to work here and ifthey dont like our flags that have been flying high for centuries go somewhere ELSE,
Silly threat to make in this line of work. Lol like they care. They can be working again in a few days. These type positions are never long term, the day you start work you are working yourself out of a job.
We support you iron workers
Looks like these guys dont let someone else do there thinking for them either.
My husband was an Ironworker. Don’t back down. they have no right to take down our flag.
If you are in America flying our flag and somebody don’t like it then they can get the hell out of America.
