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.

Been there twice in NY state.
Shameful and absurd!
Don’t you dare take that down. That’s our greatest symbol.
Iron workers have the right to fly our flag. Those who oppose can leave.
The iron worker should of thrown those wanting him,to take down the flag off the building
God bless. We all need to stand strong for our country and our values.
Stand your ground..nothing illegal about our flag
good for these patriots
That’s what I’m talking about
Good job guys!
F**e news. It has to be. Who in their right mind would try to tell iron workers to remove the US flag?
