Default Why won't Harry shout out about the unions?

I fail to see the connection between union member/worker and quality

There are some pretty serious allegations on this web site.

Cat got your tongue Harry?


Where I worked...no one was forced to sign a card, although under the
terms of employment they paid union dues and enjoyed any advantages
the full members enjoyed. ( except they couldn't run for office in the
local)


I doubt FloridaJim or his buddy JustWait could qualify as an apprentice
in any of the skilled unions.


I was on a condo construction site last week where a union crew turned
out an incredible three story winding stainless steel and glass
staircase. The tube bending and welds and panels of curved glass were as
close to perfect as any I've seen in my working life. Obviously, what
the job needed was someone with Justwait's skill to tack on some
footpegs and someone with FloridaJim's skill to sweep the floor.
