I am an Electrician and my company is located near D.C. All of our
jobs are government buildings. This order is going to take that away
from me. I am going to have to join a union in order to work? thats
stupid

I make more money than a union worker who does the same job, because I
get the same pay and benifits but I dont have to pay any money to the
union.

Why is that "bullschitt" Harry, whatever the word "bullschitt" means?

It is very unlikely he gets the same pay and benefits as a union
electrician. And on the possibility he does, why does he think he gets
the same pay and benefits?

In virtually every market ENR surveys, union rates are higher than
non-union rates, and the benefits are better, too.
