Nude picture dispute at Harnischfeger sparks debate
Workers claim plant decorations in toolboxes include religious images and personal items. Two welders David Armstrong and Bill Miller faced suspension for refusing to work areas with pictures and filed complaints citing religious discrimination. Other employees defend toolbox decor as personal and not disruptive, while department heads set area rules. The Cedar Rapids Civil Rights Commission is involved.
