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.

American tradition
Wave it high.
God bless them all. Stand tall
Make the flag bigger and wave it higher
MY BONNETT OFF TO THE IRON WORKERS, STAND YOUR GROUND ; TOO MANY LIVES WERE LOST TO KEEP OLD GLORY FLYING,
The Sherwin Williams Co. in Effingham, Illinois made the Iron Workers take down their union flag.
Instead they should have started taking down the building.
why aren’t we all flying our flag ? it is past time.
I was an Ironworker for many years I always had an American flag on my hardhat, another tradition of ironworkers is when the last piece of steel is lifted into place by the crane there will be an American flag on one end and a pine tree on the other. Good luck trying to stop ironworkers from flying Old Glory! This anti – American c**p is coming straight from the jihadest in the White House. Might be interesting to find out what coward runs CF Industries!? Stay strong, every ironworker stands with you.
Ironheads…Tinknockers, we’re all the same!
