Which is also used on boats, so it's appropriate.

If I had a youngster today, I'd advise them to enter a union
apprenticeship program for either plumbing or electrical. No matter
where these society goes, it is going to want indoor plumbing and
electricity.

There's a chance the nuke plant near us might be expanded. If so, it
will mean several years of very high paying work for union plumbers and
electricians, among others. We're talking about $100,000+ a year,
family-supporting jobs for hardworking men and women who have the skills
to do the necessary critical work.

I had a plumber quote me $465 to change the trap under my mothers sink.
I think he is making more than they make at the nuke plant. Of
course, I didn't hire him, I did it myself.

The local union plumbers wanted several thousand to replace the 'broken'
water main in front of my house. They diagnosed this because the sump pump
had stopped working due, in their words, to 'too much work'.

What did they do, Herring, show you their paid up membership card at the
door?

What crock of crap.
