Default Why won't Harry shout out about the unions?

There are some pretty serious allegations on this web site.

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.


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. :)
