My husband was offered a contract last week if he would come and help them out and he told them that he wasn't interested. The guy that called him said they can't hire enough workers to get the job done and managers are leaving. The bridge will be a 10-lane interstate over about 15 miles of water. It's union and obviously full of slackers. I didn't say that to suggest that all union workers are slackers; just a lot of those on the Oakland Bay Bridge construction project.
More propaganda. Sure union ran over costs $$$$$$$$? Had nothing to do with any management decisions, bonuses, kickbacks from suppliers, executive salaries. The whole overrun can be atributed to that one guy taking a smoke break by the barrel. He was obviously union.
