I learned early that being in the union wasn't for me. The union tried
to fire me once. All I did was shut down machinery that going amuck at
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.

Just talk to exhibitors that have had experiences putting on displays for
conventions in Chicago's McCormick Place. Aside from exhorbinent union
labor rates exhibitors they were robbed blind of their products.
