I used to work a REAL job in construction... I worked union and non-union I'll take union work over non-union ANYDAY. Union shops have to bid the work so as to pay their employees a living wage. Here in Calif they compete against non-union shops that employ illegal immigrants and others who are here legally (like Hmongs). The mentality of the non-union employer is: HOW MUCH CAN WE CHARGE AND BEAT THE UNION GUYS --- then who can we get to do the labor the cheapest. Its pathetic. As a licensed general contractor - if I WAS doing business and could swing it - I would prefer to be a UNION shop. Non-union work is the equivalent of OUTSOURCING. The difference being the work isnt sent to another country -- just the dirt poor living in the USA.
