That's good stuff you posted Don...I recommend everyone take a look at what Don posted and read it....assuming everyone here knows how to read...(that's a joke...sort of)

At any rate...I did something new today fella's. I know it didn't feel right, and I know coming from me it didn't sound right. But after taking in all of the information (and garbage) provided on this thread, I apologized to two of my co-workers for giving them so much grief about buying a foriegn made, non-union assembled car. I now finally understand WHY they chose foreign (non-union) over domestic (union). This is what the Union guys comments have done for me, made me see the TRUE light! Now I've got a couple of neighbors at home I need to apologize to also.

One other thing...as far as prevailing wages on construction projects are concerned...#1, Prevailing Wage DOES make contruction projects cost more, and #2, the buck doesn't stop at the higher paid wages. After the wages are paid there's literally a ton of paper work that must be filled out that must VERIFY contractors are paying their workers the wage rates stated. Paper work = more dollars. The list goes on and on and on.

Next time I hear the Union man complaining as a consumer about the price of parking, admission or anything else he can cry me a river as far as I'm concerned....cause it ain't gonna spoil my pinto beans either way.
