"The union miners won't do anything that isn't their job. And god forbid if you try to do something like plug something into an electrical outlet, which is considered a union job. Even if it means waiting an hour for the union guy to get there. " when I went to a new site to measure for a job the owner would have to pay two union guys 8 hours to stand near me. Even if it took 20 minutes they would be paid for 8 hours. I had to install AV stuff on a wall which included wood, steel brackets, the AV stuff. First the union steel workers had to set up and move my scaffolding (now my scaffolding was aluminum and that took an 8 hour meeting trying to determine who's job that was, every one was paid while they stood around) so next they had to get a union carpenter to mount some ply wood, then go and find the steel guys to mount some steel mounting brackets, this pissed off the carpenters who said they were mounting to their wood so it was their job ( another multi hour meeting). So then go and find some union stage hands, to mount the AV equipment, this pissed off the steel workers who said it was mounted to their steel brackets so it was there job, the carpenters were also pissed (another meeting). Then go find some Union Electricians to wire the AV stuff and yes you guest it everyone pissed off and another meeting. Finally go find some SEIU members to clean up all the trash and stuff. now repeat and rinse over 100 times in that building and the unions guys were bytching there were no jobs in the area. No one could afford to build anything with those useless POS
