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.


Harry, I didn't know you were a welding expert. Another thing about
your above lie, you can't convince me that the staircase was site-
built. It was pre-fabricated, and sent onsite. So, the union crew only
erected the thing. Quite possibly the manufacturer isn't a union shop.

Wait a hold-it Harry,


Are you trying to convince us that your union construction crew bent and
fabricated the SS tubes, and formed the "perfect" panels of curved glass on
site? * I don't believe it.


Or did they simply install them, supplied by a manufacturer?


Eisboch


The staircase was built on site in a closed off area of the parking
garage with special equipment typically used at facilities that
fabricate for the aerospace industry; the glass was produced at a union
factory. I took a few photos, which I might post later. The pricetag for
the staircase was...astonishing. :)- Hide quoted text -

I call Bull ****. * Either that Harry, or some PR dude was handing you a
line.

To fabricate what you are talking about would require hydraulic tubing
benders, mandrels, etc. .... nothing very exotic. *Normally they would
simply be made in ship-able sizes/lengths and then butt welded together on
site.

But how did they finish them? * Were they passivated? * Electropolished?
Were those tanks set up in the parking lot? * In Boston? * No friggin' way.

What you are talking about is pretty routine work for any fab shop with the
proper equipment.

The glass is something else.

Boy oh, boy that Harry can spin a tale, huh? Here's just a clue.
Tempered glass has to be....tempered. They sure as hell didn't do that
onsite, as well as your above questions about the SS finish!

BTW Harry, I am in no way inferring that union welders/fabricators are
inferior to non-union.
I am simply stating that they are not necessessary superior to non-union,
which is the case you keep trying to present.


I have quite a bit of experience with requirements for high quality welding.
The stainless steel or aluminum vacuum systems we built had some of the most
vigorous welding requirements in the trade.
They had to be leak tight to atoms of helium, drawn through voids or
inclusions or diffused through the welds by vacuum. *Helium is number 2 on
the periodic chart, meaning the atoms are very, very small.


Anyway, once in a while we would have a contract that required a "U" stamp
or in a couple of rare cases, a "N" stamp, meaning our welders were
certified for nuclear work. * We didn't have any "N" stamp certified
welders. *One project required it for a subsection (not the entire
structure), so we subcontracted to a "N" certified union welder in another
shop. The finished piece was received and, as required by the contract, sent
out for x-ray. * It flunked.


So, we subcontracted another one. *Same thing. *It flunked. *The union shop
attempted to repair it without success ... flunked x-ray again.


Meanwhile, there are excuses flying around like mosquitoes in July. *Time
was ticking and it was costing money.


We then had one of our very good, non-union welders go to the union shop to
witness the welding process on the forth attempt to build the subsystem..
One thing led to another (old history, not worth bringing back up) *but it
turns out that our welder was quite a bit bigger than the shop's union
welder. *Our guy grabbed the torch and spent three days welding up the
assembly.


Shipped it out for x-ray.... passed with no problems.


You need to talk to my wife about welding and porosity of materials. She
eats, sleeps and dreams that stuff.- Hide quoted text -

Racist? There are no racial classifications in India. My problems with
support "offshored" to India has to do with the fact that those jobs
should be held by Americans, that the majority of tech support personnel
I have encountered on the phone in India have not received enough
training to be helpful, that the phone connections typically are "over
the internet and lousy" and that many of the personnel have a lousy
command of English.

The alternative is to insist you be connected to American customer
service. That works most of the time. Really. You know, I think half the
problems are related to the VOIP phone connections.


That is your prerogative. That'll certainly improve your chances of
talking with a racist.

Not true. I am the consumer from hell, and also the guy who will
not talk to customer support people in India.

Racist!


Racist? There are no racial classifications in India. My problems
with support "offshored" to India has to do with the fact that those
jobs should be held by Americans, that the majority of tech support
personnel I have encountered on the phone in India have not received
enough training to be helpful, that the phone connections typically
are "over the internet and lousy" and that many of the personnel
have a lousy command of English.

It has nothing to do with race.



How do you like being tagged with a label?

If you don't like Indian customer service, what is the alternative.
Mebbee they can move all the customer service to China, where the
products are made.

A Muslim is a member of a particular religion Islam. It is the same sort
of descriptor as Jewish, Catholic and Protestant. Muslim does not denote
race.

Arabs are part of an ethnic group. There are other definitions, too, but
Arab does not denote race.

You can go with whatever racial descriptors please you. I don't pay

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.


Wait a hold-it Harry,


Are you trying to convince us that your union construction crew bent and
fabricated the SS tubes, and formed the "perfect" panels of curved glass
on site? * I don't believe it.


Or did they simply install them, supplied by a manufacturer?


The staircase was built on site in a closed off area of the parking garage
with special equipment typically used at facilities that fabricate for the
aerospace industry; the glass was produced at a union factory. I took a
few photos, which I might post later. The pricetag for the staircase
was...astonishing. :)


"Special equipment used by facilities that fabricate for the aerospace
industry"?


I call Bull ****. * Either that Harry, or some PR dude was handing you a
line.


To fabricate what you are talking about would require hydraulic tubing
benders, mandrels, etc. .... nothing very exotic. *Normally they would
simply be made in ship-able sizes/lengths and then butt welded together on
site.


But how did they finish them? * Were they passivated? * Electropolished?
Were those tanks set up in the parking lot? * In Boston? * No friggin' way.


What you are talking about is pretty routine work for any fab shop with the
proper equipment.


The glass is something else.


Here's the deal guys. *Harry is in the union marketing business. *He's
essentially a marketer for union labor.

That's what he does for a living. *Kind of like Amway sales in a way.- Hide quoted text -

HEY.......quit dissing Amway sales people. They will surely take
offense at you lumping them in with Harry. At least they know
something about their product!

Harry, I didn't know you were a welding expert. Another thing about
your above lie, you can't convince me that the staircase was site-
built. It was pre-fabricated, and sent onsite. So, the union crew only
erected the thing. Quite possibly the manufacturer isn't a union shop.


The manufacturer has the assembly alignment fixtures. They used to
call them jigs, but someone decided that was politically incorrect.
Whichever, that means they can do it faster, cheaper, and better.
