A Muskegon Suzuki motorcycle dealer has fired a mechanic for buying a Harley-Davidson, citing an alleged policy banning ownership of any competitors' products.  The fired mechanic claims no such policy had ever been declared.  The move seems to have backfired, as locals picket and boycott the dealership, calling the owner "un-American".

"I'm here because of freedom of choice," said labor activist Paul Stark, a former vice president of the Muskegon Labor Council.  "It's a shame when a guy buys an American product, he loses his job.  You should have the right to purchase what you choose.  Someone's got to stand up for the working man."
