Union labor strives for mediocraty. There is not motivation for working

It's an assembly line. How do you work harder than the guy next to you?


Not all union labor works on a assembly line.

I remember in 1987 having to plug in an data line monitor, in Ft.
Lauderdale, into an electrical outlet under the raised floor. The guy in
the datacenter called the electrical shop and the electrician couldn't
get to us for 1.5 hours. We had the floor open and were staring at an
electrical outlet. Neither of us were allowed to plug the cord into the
electrical outlet, union rules. It took the guy 2 hours to get to us. We
asked him why it took so long and he said that he had to take his
morning break, union rules. The electrician plugged the power cord in
and said call me when you need it unplugged. After the union electrician
left the data center guy said that it would be easier if the power cord
accidentally was kicked and fell out of the outlet when I was done. So,
I accidentally kicked the power cord out of the outlet 20 minutes later
and left. What should have taken 30 minutes at most turned into 3 hours.
