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.

I’ve been Union for 19 years in Chicago and watched our union support the same morons who destroyed our pensions and put Chicago in a huge hole. Needless to say I’ve voted Republican for the last 8 years and will continue to do so. Sooner or later you have to stop thinking me me me and look at the bigger picture. Not sure either party is the answer anymore but I definately know the Democrats have destroyed Illinois
It’s OUR flag, OUR country! We are sick of this liberal “politically correct” garbage. What does our flag have to do with a company telling it’s people that they will lose their jobs for flying it from their trucks? Should this company follow through, they should be blackmailed by every company who uses them. They are a disgrace!!!
If I say what I want to say, my Grandmother will come back from the grave with a tub of lye soap for my mouth and my Grandfather will come back to show me where he hid the musket and powder.
I support you
Freedom of flags is a dead religion
I love that we still have honest “AMERICANS”, these guys are standing up for what they believe in. My question is, who in the heck ordered it to be removed and better still why??????
Stand strong
RAISE HIGH THE AMERICAN FLAG……
” GOD BLESS AMERICA. !!!
That Monkey Eared Baboon has this country so fucked up, even facebook is fucked up about the gun policy sales….Time to take back AMERICA
Keep that Flag flying proudly! The people that are offended by it, need to leave our country!
