You are kidding, right?
Wait...there's a factory in Georgia?
I thought nothing was manufactured in the US anymore.

Hey, I work in HR for a manufacturer in the US! We do exist, not all of us are union shops and we actually make stuff and employ real Americans! : ) ,
And as someone in HR; I’m smelling some major BS here.
Unless the company had a written policy stating that all workers must wear the stick every day noting the number of days the factory was accident free and stated that not doing so was cause for termination; I’d find it very hard to believe that someone would be fired over just that especially given the hyper PC stuff we in HR have to deal with on a daily basis. And even presuming Billy E. Hyatt gave a basis for his objection to wearing it on religious grounds.
And even if Billy was in violation of company policy for not wearing some sticker, which would be a very stupid policy IMO, I doubt he’d be fired over a first offence of company policy. Typically there is a procedure for giving at least one written warning prior to termination – unless this company’s HR department is totally inept and not aware of labor laws.
More likely Billy has been written up numerous times for things not at all related to the Number of the Beast and this was an excuse to finally get rid of him. Or that Billy’s termination had nothing at all to do with his not wearing the sticker, but for other more serious reasons and Billy is just using this as an excuse for an unemployment or wrongful termination claim.
Having attended many unemployment hearings, you can’t believe some of the things I’ve heard over the years.
Seems amazing that there’s a non-Mexican factory worker in Dalton in 2011.
