Concerned that they get the credit (and overtime) and that non union dues paying workers don’t mess with their turf.
Dang right, they want that double time and triple time, ALL of it.
I’m amazed at the arrogance of the IBEW...to assume that those non-union folks would come in to the area, and decide to stay beyond the storm recovery effort.
The only reason for these out-of-towners to be in the area is to help the residents get back to some semblance of normalcy. I can’t imagine that any of them would arrive, look around, and say, “Yep, this looks like a place I could call home.”
The IBEW is as much to blame for the stalled recovery efforts as is FEMA (ill prepared, despite their crowing self-promotion), and 0bama (campaigning while the east coast shivers and starves).
Truly, this is the best of the libtards...
