Default The demise of a great boat...

I'll give you a work restriction example. When I was helping my
dealer at a boat show, the venue electricians were Union. We needed
to run a 6' extension cord from an outlet right behind the display to
a DVD player. We ran the extension cord, secured it behind the
display with 200 MPH tape to the concrete floor and hooked it up to
the DVD player.

NO NO NO. Had to have an electrician do that. So the electrician
came along and did exactly the same thing we did only it cost the
dealer $80 for five minutes work.


Having exhibited at trade shows and conferences for many years and having to
pay through the nose to have a union electrician plug in an extension cord
at our booth, I feel your pain.

Licenced union electricians are usually well trained, competent and
qualified.
Non-union licenced electricians are usually well trained, competent and
qualified.

What do "you" have in your wallet?
