Happy World Toilet Day...
"Don White" wrote in message ... "Short Wave Sportfishing" wrote in message news  Funny you should mention that. The local Building Trades Council had bid on the new Killingly High School - a $64 million dollar state-of-the-art building. While the town Building Committee was willing to negotiate a contract for the iron workers, carpenters and painters, they did not want to hire union plumbers, electricians or masons. You might want to ask why. The answer is pretty simple. When the building upgrade for the Intermediate school was completed, the plumbing and electrical failed code and one wall was out of plumb - not the architect's fault either - shoddy workmanship and it was late opening - by six months. Compared to the Plainfield High school - another state-of-the-art building which was built with non-Union labor. Came in under budget, on time and in move in condition. Won some kind of international award to boot. Passed state and local inspections in record time. The interesting thing was the Plainfield High school was bigger, more complex and cost 1/3 less than the high school they are planning in Killingly. Go figure. Not looking to pick a fight - just stating facts. Only the facts. What the $%$%! Our new high school in the center of the city cost between $20-30 million and everybody's crying about that. This new school replaces two older schools from the days when the catholics had their own and everyone else, the other. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Citadel_High_School Your dollar is worth more. |
