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.

YOU DUMB IGNORANT LOW LIFE POSS…..
Bill Lozier, even if you are right, perhaps Trump saw fit for the time and cost factors as legitimate reasons. You can say it was unAmerican from the get go, but if the bottom line is that it serves to help all Americans in the dollars and cents department, I can live with that. There are plenty of other companies and politicians you can choose to attack for the out sourcing of jobs and the imports that most Americans buy. Go beat down their door. Sometimes you have to choose the lesser of two evils, to do the right thing. Doing that won’t make sense to many people or won’t appease their sensibilities. That is because, they are either not intelligent enough to understand or they are corrupt enough to cling to, what ultimately isnt what is most important. I find many people vote with their pocket book as their priority, regardless of whether it is their soul they are selling to make sure it is never empty.
Christopher Parsons Well said sir, i may not agree with you, but your logic is sound and you presented it in a polite and concise manner.
What company would jeopardize the productivity their workers by such a comment or actin especially a subcontractor.
Since when did this become anything but the USA? Old glory shall never be asked to be taken down. Land of the free, home of the brave!
These guys love their country and what it stands for. Proud of you guys!!
This is America people who are against the American flag and need to be deported, they don’t deserve to live in this country
HOPE THEY PUNCHED OUT THE SOB THAT TOLD THEM ‘LOSE THE FLAG ‘……

F**K CF Industries! I STAND WITH THE IRON WORKERS AND RIGGERS! DON’T BUY CF’S PRODUCTS!!!
