Sounds like a great policy.
A Georgia Business owner posted on a sign on his truck, that read, “Company Policy: We are not hiring until Obama is gone.” Bill Looman, U.S. Cranes, LLC, says most of the feedback he’s received has been positive – “about 20 to 1.”
News Channel 11 reported:
A west Georgia business owner is stirring up controversy with signs he posted on his company’s trucks, for all to see as the trucks roll up and down roads, highways and interstates:
“New Company Policy: We are not hiring until Obama is gone.”
“Can’t afford it,” explained the employer, Bill Looman, Tuesday evening. “I’ve got people that I want to hire now, but I just can’t afford it. And I don’t foresee that I’ll be able to afford it unless some things change in D.C.”
Looman’s company is U.S. Cranes, LLC. He said he put up the signs, and first posted pictures of the signs on his personal Facebook page, six months ago, and he said he received mostly positive reaction from people, “about 20-to-one positive.”
