Hi Michael Cummings A casual search for someone who says they worked Alaska in 70's, re:union jobs says those numbers are worth further "truth research" --------------------- "Union duplicity, Democratic jellyfish, and the great ANWR sellout" "...Oil development in ANWR has absolutely no long term benefit to working people..." -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Posted: 2001-12-04 21:41 The truly sad thing is that the unions are going to get hosed on ANWAR. I worked on the Alaska pipeline from 75 to 79 and I can tell you that those days are gone forever. That project required a lot of heavy construction work -- they built roads and camps and a huge amount of infrastructure. The ANWAR project will consist of drilling crews, period. They'll probably hire a couple hundred truck drivers at the most. There will be very few union jobs of any kind; the oil companies have pretty much turned Alaska into a right to work state, anyway. Friends of mine who formerly held high paying union jobs at about $30 per hour (with a lot of overtime) are now working for half of that under company contracts.
