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.

Stand strong my union clan
I like it how ordinary people are rising up against the LIBS.
Since WHEN can you not fly an American flag?
This company should be ashamed of itself. The base of who they sell to, i.e. farmers, are the backbone of this country and about as patriotic as they come. There is no valid excuse for this company to demand this. Keep those flags flying guys. Glad to see the town supporting you too.
Iron workers are a lot more important to the country then the Kapernachs of the world ever will be!
Flying flag all the time
F**e trash
This is wrong.
File a complaint and leave the flag up…
Perfect ad for class action suit. Just do it.
Good
