We were stationed there recently and my wife had to deal with those unions. Since it appears that the fire was created by a few boneheaded civilian union employees, she figures that three Navy officers (the yard commander, the engineering commander and the safety person) will be fired, have their careers ruined and wind up getting retired early and two union guys will get placed somewhere else on the yard as “punishment” until the union has them reinstated.
oh, and not to mention the scores of Navy personnel in the chain that will be denied promotions and held out of better billets and treated as lepers because this will be forever on their fitrep. Not to mention the half a billion it’ll cost the taxpayers all because, based on what we know so far, a few union guys were too lazy and didn’t want to carry the vac off the boat because the act of moving the vac up and out was not in their job description.
