LOL! LOL!

Nice try, but you don't know how Unions work.

Now it will just take more stupid union goons longer to install the pipes.

Ever hear the one about "how many X's does it take to install a light bulb?" They personify that.

A story:

In the early 70's I worked in a union shop.  My father, uncle, cousins, etc, worked
there also.  One machine was well known for breaking down.  When it broke down,
the operator would "get a break" while maintenance fixed it.  My uncle was the
maintenance man who had to fix it.  The secret was to not stop the machine to take out
the pieces after molding (not difficult).  If you stopped it, the mold box would overheat,
leading to a breakdown.   My supervisor always picked me to run it, as I kept it running.
I was moved to another job, because union reps thought I was being a friend of management
in this scenario.

Prologue:  My uncle, a few years later, had his hand crushed, repairing that machine.
