I learned early that being in the union wasn't for me. The union tried

no risk to anyone and no skin off my ass. Turns out I saved the company
a bundle in repairs by noticing it in time. The union's grudge was that
it "wasn't your job!".


Bull****.


Harry, I've been witness to the same type of thing many times. Due to the
somewhat unconventional nature of the business I was in, some of the
confrontations with union facilities were humorous, but in the end,
unnessessarily costly. I learned early on to add additional manhours to our
costs, particularly for installations of systems, if the customer had a
union shop. It just took much longer to accomplish.
