I have a friend in the Wisconsin mason's union.

Work is getting better ,but has been very spotty.

The slow down in work - pushed many in their 50's to retire (mason work wears the body out early).

He said there are 1300 working masons and over 3000 on the retirement pension.

Not good math and not getting better unless we really start building more and young people take up laying cement block.

I'd guess this is true of most skilled labor union pensions.
