Watch Live: Congressional Hearing on IRS Scandal

Live Now on TheBlaze Radio: ‘The Buck Sexton Show’

Why Does the Teamsters Union Appear to Be Flying Its Union Flag Above the U.S. One Outside the Group’s D.C. HQ?

Dec. 18, 2012 4:14pm Tiffany Gabbay

TheBlaze’s Jonathon M. Seidl contributed to this report.

A photo depicting what appears to be the Teamsters Union flag improperly flying above the American flag outside the union’s D.C. headquarters on Tuesday was sent to TheBlaze, and the story of how a Marine veteran who tried to bring it to the group’s attention was treated is sure to raise eyebrows.

The photo was taken by the Marine at approximately 2:10 pm ET and sent to TheBlaze by his brother. Both have requested anonymity for fear of retaliation by the union.

This is the picture:

Teamsters Union Flag Appears to By Flying Above American Flag Outside Union Headquarters Building

Photo credit: TheBlaze

You can just make out the image of the horses and the star-like figure present in the union’s logo:

An image from the Teamsters website showing the group’s logo. (Photo source: Teamsters.org)

A quick view of Google Maps and the street view feature shows the building depicted in the photo above is, in fact, the group’s listed headquarters. The Google image shows the same flag poles:

The union’s headquarters, located at 25 Louisiana Avenue NW, Washington, DC, as seen in Google. (Photo source: Google Maps)

The decision to fly the union flag above the U.S. one seems a clear violation the United States Flag Code. Section “c” of the code states:

(c) No other flag or pennant should be placed above or, if on the same level, to the right of the flag of the United States of America, except during church services conducted by naval chaplains at sea, when the church pennant may be flown above the flag during church services for the personnel of the Navy. No person shall display the flag of the United Nations or any other national or international flag equal, above, or in a position of superior prominence or honor to, or in place of, the flag of the United States at any place within the United States or any Territory or possession thereof: Provided, That nothing in this section shall make unlawful the continuance of the practice heretofore followed of displaying the flag of the United Nations in a position of superior prominence or honor, and other national flags in positions of equal prominence or honor, with that of the flag of the United States at the headquarters of the United Nations.

TheBlaze could not locate any exceptions made for when the U.S. flag has been ordered at half-staff, which has been the case since the Sandy Hooke school massacre.

But there’s more to the story. The veteran’s brother tells TheBlaze that the Marine did try to inform the union of the apparent flag code violation, but when he entered the Teamsters headquarters to alert them of the matter he was informed by a security guard that he had to leave the premises.

The Teamsters Union headquarters also happens to be approximately a block away from the U.S. Capitol.

TheBlaze contacted the group’s headquarters for comment and has not yet received a response.

Oh, I get it. They were ordered to lower the American flag to half mast because of the Ct shootings but the Union itself refuses to lower its own flag to half mast.

And Canada? Well, they are Canadians…… not subject to our rules.

  No It’s correct. It’s at half staff because it’s been abandonded by too many of it’s citizens. Let me rephrase that. Not citizens, resident slaves who want someone to tell them (lie to them) that they will be kept safe and free from bad things.
  
  The flag of one of the new sub masters even flies above it. All they need is the O flag at the top to have it accurate.

  In case the Canada jab went over anyones’ heads, here’s what’s wrong with the pic:
  
  First, NO flag flies higher than the U.S. flag. Think about your normal flag outside of a school: U.S. flag on top, State flag underneath, then maybe a city or POW/MIA flag under that. That’s the way it’s supposed to look. By flying the union flag higher, the Teamsters are saying their loyalty is to their comunist union above even the nation. (But would anyone be surprised by that?)
  
  As to the Canada jab, it’s because again, the U.S. flag is not supposed to be flying lower than any other flag. That means that if the U.S. flag is ordered to half mast (or if you like, half staff), it is required that all other flags in the area also be lowered. That includes other nations’ flags and even those of hotels that have a corporate flag on a second or third pole, even if the second and third poles are shorter than the U.S. pole. The reason why is symbolic: by lowering the U.S. flag but not the ones of the hotel, city, state, etc, the flag not being lowered comes closer to being the prominent flag in the group, so their relative position should remain the same by lowering all of the flags to half mast.
  
  While the second is a simple mistake to make if you don’t know the difference, there’s absolutely no excuse for the Teamsters flying their flag above the U.S. flag.

  Before we jump to conclusions…Is it possible the teamsters flag was on a separate flagpole? The U.S. flag was lowered to half staff in honor of the Sandy Hook murders. It’s easy to twist reality by simply standing in a certain position when you take a photo.

  Hmmm … I’m not so sure about this flag. If you blow that pic of the flag that is flying above the U.S. flag up, it appears to have the dual horsehead, but what is being called the 6-spoke wheel looks more to be something like the 2 swords in the muslim brotherhood flag.

The original pledge was written by Francis Bellamy (1855-1931) and was originally published by The Youth’s Companion, a Boston magazine.

The National Flag Conferences of the American Legion expanded the original wording in 1923 and 1924.

In 1942, Congress made the pledge part of its code for the use of the flag.

In 1954, it added the words “under God.”

  Please. If you mention Francis Bellamy then you must also mention his Bellamy salute
  
  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bellamy_salute “In the 1920s, Italian fascists adopted the Roman salute to symbolize their claim to have revitalized Italy on the model of ancient Rome. This was quickly copied by the German Nazis, creating the Nazi salute. The similarity to the Bellamy salute led to confusion, especially during World War II.”

  If the teamster flag is on the same line as Old Glory, then they did not half-staff the flag properly. The procedure calls for raising the flag full-staff THEN LOWERING it, which could not have been done with that rag above it.

  First you are an idiot, because the union flag never should have been above the US Colors to begin with, it so it wasn’t that they didn’t know the flag position had to be changed, the point is that no flag is flown abover her, EVER. Second, QUALITYRKC you are a bigger moron and I wish people like you would either get an education or leave this country, you make me embarrassed to serve my country. You have no idea what you are talking about, and the real propagandist is you. No one here has been convinced to take someone elses position regarding the union, the majority realizes the the union is a corrupted and worthless (now) government organization because they can see, hear, and read facts. You think labor cant exist without union? Wow that’s some propaganda. Heritage Foundation preserving traditional values and the idea of Constitutional government isn’t propaganda, it’s the last group of Americans on the front lines of the war on socialism. They are actually protecting your liberties, (while supplies last). You might also want to do some research, because Fox itself doesn’t “belong” to a union, it belongs to the Fox Entertainment Group and is owned publicly and on the free market. Although some Fox employees are members of the broadcasters union, all of them are not. More importantly, theBlaze is independently owned, and there is no union here whatsoever. Glenn Beck staff, this website, theBlaze TV, all non-union. Go get an education *******.

Its like everyone crazy grandpa at the dinner table found a place to congregate and share thbeir strange and irrational fears. People on here reading heritage foundation (koch bro funded) supplied propaganda stories while calling unions traitors. Its as if they believe they relate more to the fortune 500 ceo’s than they do the average blue collor worker. The irony is most visiting this website are on some form of medicare or social security which the koch bros want to destroy. They will never be able to gain access to this information tho bc the outlets they trust would never connect the dots for them ande let’s face it, old people and christian fundys aren’t good at researching things on the internet. If they were they wouldn’t be getting theirf news from the blaze

It shows the uttermost contempt the union-boss places above the people of the Republic. He is an avowed Socialist, who demands the Republic perish and a new system of governance be imposed, and the faster the better.

This is a message to the world, and to Obama, the nation means nothing to them. Freedom means nothing to them, and they want Obama to work all that much faster and harder upon his fundamental transformation of the United States.

The pressure is ratcheting up day by day, and probably will blow all too soon.

America stands for everyone having a voice, every vote counting, every person an individual.

Unions stand for unions having a voice, every due accounted, and every person a slave.

Why would they fly anything above the flag that represents their loyalty to the idea that some animals are more equal than others?

  Awwww, come on!!!! You’re not a slave when someone else is bargaining for you, just ask the master I mean Unions. They will tell you, you’re a Slave when you negotiate your own contract as an individual, and get what you want and are paid what your worth; you need to be like everyone else. You’re not capable of negotiating your own contract (right to work) you need someone else to do that for you, because there smarter than you, even though you may get a better deal negotiating your own contract, they cannot let you do that, there still smarter than you. Just ask them.

When the American flag was flown at half mast in memory of CT children, the union flag should also have been moved. I guess they don’t care about anyone else.

Communism is an internationalist movement which frowns on nationalism, so this doesn’t surprise me.

Only the law abiding abide the law. Only when the law is graved in man’s heart will there be no error and no sin.

Good people ought to be armed as they will, with wits and Guns and the Truth. God Bless Bitter Clingers, damn know-nothings, progressives.
