DJD ever work high iron? would you trust just anyone operating a tower crane? Would you let a new guy plan and build a 20 story elevator shaft? Some unions have apprentace programs a worker must pass to be a certified journey man. I saw new houses being built in birmingham, that 5 yrs later were almost condemed, BillyBob construction, left sewer lines loosly connected, Atlanta subdivision, used the cheap schedule plactic pipe for sewage, 4 yra later the whole subdivision was socked with the cost of replacing it, BiilBob construction, and his crew Juan, Pedro, hesus, all gone. Hate unions, what is the AMA, The bar association? Get a bunch of yahoos putting up a 5 story wall, and not checking plumb lines, but hey they are only making 5 bucks an hour. When I got out of the army, worked with american bridge, but it was almost seasonal work, building missle silos out west, no yahoos needed to apply.you talk about constructiion, do you hire cheap or competent contractors?Good contractors have jourymen,who know and take pride in their work.I worked iron one year, and frankly it scared the s--t out of me, so went into industry, chemicals to be exact, and retired as a hydrogen plant tech.Not a union job then.
