    Makes you wonder exactly who he supports. Workers should file a class action to get the flags back.

    Tell that piece of * to bite it. I would display it and then sue for discrimination. I can't see how you could lose. Be proud or get out!I will ask, why has it taken this to get people to fly/display our flag?

    They have a toll-free #: 800 NCCI 1-2-3. They have disabled some links on their website - notably those that describe what services they provide, but a little drilling suggests that they offer summaries of Workman's Comp reports to government agencies. I for one am contacting my state agencies to suggest that if they are presently using this service they find an alternative; obviously the CEO is more concerned w/ being PC than American. No reason that his employer - meaning the taxpayers - should pay his salary any longer.
    Addendum: Option 3, voicemail connects to CEO's extension of 1922. For some reason, his voicemailbox is full. Wait a little longer and the call is transferred to a flunky. They provide workman's compensation policies also. Must be more than one company in the country who does this. Maybe even one which allows their employees to exercise their 1st Amendment right to show their citizenship; might be worth asking your employers' HR departments to look into it.[This message has been edited by Iconoclast (edited 09-17-2001).]
