For the record and all joking aside...I don't care for Unions, I never hid that from anyone on this site. I never worked around steel workers but have around many other unions and yes most are trade unions.

Give me a few hours around some of them and I'll hear or see waste totally based on the fact they are in a Union. Sorry if you don't like it but I base my opinion on what I have experienced and experience almost daily in the Educational Bid market in Kentucky.

No hard feelings KYGorski.....we just differ in opinions on this.
I understand your point and totally agree. If you want to read about a financial nightmare, read about the Oakland Bay Bridge repair and cost overrun. It is into the BILLIONS of dollars and already about 5 years behind schedule. It's the section that fell into the Bay during the 1989 earthquake and California is trying to rebuild it. 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.
