> Henry Carmichael The company, NCII Holdings, Inc. of Boca Raton, Florida did not confiscate any flags from employees. They simply ordered the employees not to display the little flags on their desktops. As a result of public pressure and employee protests the company eventually realized that they had made a very bad decision. Not only did management rescind their original decision, but they even started handing out some little USA flags for free to every employee who asked for one. I don't know if the employees there have a labor union, but if they did, the outcome of this incident would have them singing "Solidarity Forever" for a very long time. For the benefit of those who do not know very much about labor unions in the USA, the song "Solidarity Forever" is their anthem. It is sung to the tune of the "Battle Hymn of the Republic". Labor unions in Spanish speaking countries have also adopted the same song as translated into their language. I don't know if labor unions in non-English and non-Spanish speaking countries have also adopted the same song and translated it into their own languages.
