Morgan City welder claims he was fired for reporting a “noose”, company says otherwise

Company (Performance Contractors) says he had two disciplinary problems in his less than one month on the job.

As a point of reference, the suspected noose reported at the job site is shown on the left; a typical arbor knot on the right.

Performance Contractors, Inc. takes all allegations seriously and investigates them thoroughly. We do not tolerate discrimination of any form. The specific knot in question was an arbor knot – which is a variation of the slipknot. The three most commonly used knots in our industry are the slip knot, clove hitch, and arbor knot. These knots are essential for securing lightweight materials when manually raising or lowering from elevated work areas. These knots are common in our industry, and there is no indication there was any racial motivation whatsoever.
A swift investigation revealed that this rope and loop used for lifting materials had been tied by an African American and was being used by an African American to hoist a tool bag to the scaffolding deck. We have an affidavit from that employee attesting to this fact.
As for the allegation of retaliatory discharge, it should be noted that the employee in question had been employed by Performance as a welder for less than a month prior to his reporting of the rope. During that time and prior to his complaint, he received two disciplinary warnings. He reported the rope on August 15. On August 18, Performance tested his first structural weld since being employed and approximately 17 out of 42 inches failed objective ultrasonic testing and were rejected. The employee was terminated for poor performance.

Even if it was a "noose" knot.
So what?
We need to reject the notion that knots are racist on its face.
People were being hanged with nooses since before africa was even a notion to people.
There is nothing racial about any knot.
It's knot an issue.

I’m only sharing because it hits on a lot of the OT favorite topics, but Performance Contractors seems to have defended themselves with facts quickly and thoroughly - that’s why I didn’t bother to quote the accuser’s side of the story.

17 of 42 inches failed testing. Sounds like he should have been tested prior to being hired.

Gotta love it. Working in the oil field has its perks. Piss enough people off with your woke BS and they'll find something performance-related to fire you or put you on a PIP with impossible goals.

That knot looks like it’s prohibited by the Jussie Smollette Anti Lynching Knot Law of 2018 sponsored by Senators Booker and Harris. Tread lightly. Not even Boosie Esq or SFP Esq can plead you out from tying this type of domestic terrorist rope knot
