I knew that was coming. :) Hey...I want experienced, *licensed* journeymen on the more difficult projects, or supervised apprentices on the simpler ones. When I have a union mechanic on my property, I don't have to worry about him screwing up the job, nor do I have to wonder what he was doing on his last job. IIRC, I once called the local union to ask about finding a plumber. The retard on the phone made like I was asking how much Jupiter weighed. ROTFL!!! Last year I helped a friend of mine set up at a hunting/fishing/boat show and the convention center was "union". We set up the booth and were working on the lighting for the boats when along comes a union steward who told us that we needed to have a union electrician inspect the lighting rack. That in and of itself wasn't a problem - we paid the hour electrician's fee, the guy inspected the lighting, passed it as "good" and charged us and additional fee to plug in the extension cord - I kid you not. Guess how much the plugging in of the extension cord cost? $50.00 $175. Damn! I guess it's tougher to plug in extension cords these days. |
