A union representing federal employees at Eglin Air Force base in Florida is demanding that two senior management officials be removed from their posts because they put decals on their personal trucks supporting Duck Dynasty star Phil Robertson.
Alan Cooper, the executive vice president of the local chapter of the American Federation of Government Employees, said one of the officials also displayed the “I Support Phil” decals in his office last month and offered them to subordinates.
“The BUE (bargaining union employee) was clearly offended and disgusted that a senior management official would display the decal on their pod,” read an email Cooper wrote.
“We took offense,” Cooper told me in a telephone interview. “These two particular individuals have a great amount of influence over individuals who may be gay, who may be African-American – and we have a concern they should not be in a position to exert that influence when it comes to promotions.”
In an email that was sent to union members, Cooper said the Duck Dynasty decal may be a violation of the Civil Rights Act of 1964.
“Phil Robertson has made disparaging remarks against a vast array of people, which created a firestorm in the media in the recent past,” Cooper wrote.

TV show stickers are now grounds for firing. Beam me up.
Quack!

Why are we focusing on something minor when serious crimes like officials putting stickers on their trucks is going on? They are worse than Billy Mitchell.
I was just getting ready to post this.
The liberal goal is to either silence or absolutely destroy all with views opposite to theirs. Its absolutely pathetic.
I bet a rainbow flag is okay, though.
Our country is being dismantled by activists. If you know people who think this type of thing is ok, set them straight! If they won’t listen, “unfriend” them!
It has gone way past “liking gays”. You will do their bidding or lose your livelihood and be forced to attend “sensitivity training”.
We are doomed, no doubt about it.
Did the stickers mention “why” they support Phil Robertson? Maybe they’re Duck Hunters.
A union supporting leftwing social engineering???? How shocking!!!
A union for government workers?
Bust it up.
Would it be better if the sticker had said, “I support God’s word regarding homosexuality.” I wonder what would happen with a sticker like that.
Eglin is located in Florida’s First Congressional District which has been described as the most conservative in the nation.
My Father worked at Eglin for 35 years.
I’m offended at the Obama stickers I STILL see EVERYDAY.
He MUST be removed from his post
“In 1962, President John F. Kennedy signed Executive Order 10988, which permitted collective bargaining by federal employees. Widely seen as a gift to George Meany, the AFL-CIO head who helped Kennedy win the White House, the executive order was also a gift to government unions, both because it widened federal membership and because it signaled national approval of unions for state and local employees.”
Mine says “Phil is right”
Kudos to the Brig. General for upholding the First Amendment and telling the union Gestapo Alan Cooper to take a hike.
“Phil Robertson has made disparaging remarks against a vast array of people...” What a queer thing to say by the person quoted.
