At least you got to do the work.

Worked with a Arch. Design firm whose Interiors Dept. (corporate) spec’d some of the first pre-wired open office panel systems, Haworth IIRC, in the late 70’s.
Contract was for three full bank corporate hq floors on Park Avenue. NYC IBEW local and custodial workers union threatened violence and strike. So after 3 days Bank capitulated. Bldg Maint Union guys dismantled the panels already placed. Union elec. workers removed the factory installed prewired elec modules and re-installed them after maintenance louts re-assembled cubical panels.

There are eight million stories in the naked city, more than half deal in broad scale corruption.

Oh man! What a fiasco! Luckily, the system we used, the union guys had never seen, and were clueless as how to do it.
