MILWAUKEE (CBS 58) -- On Friday afternoon a photo started circulating on social media in Milwaukee of a lunch box with stickers representing the Confederate flag and Ku Klux Klan.
According to the account that posted the photo, the lunch box belonged to a someone working at a construction site in Milwaukee near 25th and Wells.
The Communications Manager for the City of Milwaukee Department of Public Works sent CBS 58 a statement that read:
"The stickers are offensive to the Administration and DPW. If, in fact, the cooler with the stickers belongs to an individual working on a City contract, it would be best if the individual works someplace other than the City of Milwaukee."
The Department of Public Works is investigating the incident.
