Wish I had come around to read this sooner. I have dealt with union workers on two occasions. Both times they were the laziest bunch of slackers I have ever been around. Funny thing was, they resented the hard working guys who had "all this nice stuff" who worked for independant companys. Nothing funnier than a big pile of union guys hitting the break room every two hours like clock work and *****ing and moaning about every little thing. Upside was, they put themselves in a cage as far as wages go, and had little or no self thought process. Asking them to actually do anything was like crapping glass. Just talking to them about work was like walking through a mine field. Constantly on the look out for you to "say" something outside the lines of the "contract" so they could bail and you pay them anyway. It was never about what "we will do" it was always about "what we won't do".

Union workers.. clogging up lunch rooms all over the country.. Unions suck. In many cases, they "bargin" them selves right out of work. Most would rather deal with a contracter on the free markey system than deal with all the Union crap, and they get the job done, and get paid better in the end,
