How ‘bout those union thugs? It’s always about them. If the snotty nosed little, NON-WORKING, brats don’t get their way, they always go on strike. That’s why unions are not good for American and we need to get rid of them. Give the jobs to people who WANT to work!
I would think that going on strike in this financial climate is not a very good idea. I keep recalling the Kroger employees sitting out in the store’s parking lot, striking. In about two months the store closed. Now we don’t have a Kroger store and they don’t have jobs.
Back when I was in graduate school I worked for Simplex, a major fire alarm manufacturer of high rise fire alarms. One of the big jobs I participated in was the Marquis II office tower, part of the Peachtree Center office complex in downtown Atlanta. This was a 33 story office tower. The IBEW electricians had been wiring the building for months for the fire alarm. When we arrived to to the final hookup and testing the room that contained the fire alarm panels was about 15’x15’ with 6’ tall fire alarm panels lining the walls. Each had between 200-300 wires hanging loose at each panel. No biggie. We saw that a lot. The problem came when we realized that these dipwads had wired the entire building without marking a single wire as to it’s destination. When I inquired with the IBEW “Master Electrician” who was running that part of the project he said “we thought you’d know where they go”. It said plain as day on every print that marking both ends of every wire was required. They spent the next eight weeks ringing out wires and tagging them so that we could do the final termination and testing. Many of the so-called “electricians” I worked with on that project, every one of them IBEW members, did not even know how to use a volt meter. Real, true professionals!
