A Union stagehand from IATSE Local 33 was fired while building a rally stage for President Obama for wearing a navy sweatshirt commemorating an aircraft carrier, the U.S.S. George H. W. Bush. Duane Hammond was wearing the sweatshirt because his son is in the navy, and currently serves on the carrier. After refusing to take his sweatshirt off when a union supervisor demanded it, he was fired from the job. It goes without saying…..you have no “say” in a union.
