here is another thought for you guys, usually when a Union contractor gets the job they try to use Union Brothers for other parts of the job as well, ie ( using Teamsters) to get the supplies/materials to the job site.
Here is a situation that has happen to me in the past, Lets use the Iron workers in this case go on strike at the complex, but there are other unions involved at the complex performing work, too, like electricians, sheetmetal workers, carpenters, etc.. since the iron workers are the ones who go on strike, the other unions will not cross a line of a former brother Union worker....at the same location, then you have outside Union brothers, like concrete workers, teamsters, who would be normally be making deliveries to these areas, will then inform their companies that a strike line has been setup, and that the worker will not cross the line. i believe that is what has occured at the stadium, and possibly a reason if goes to a extended time, it will in turn delay all projects schedules. I am sure there are other Chief Planet Members who are also in Unions, if so please speak up and give your input! |

I didn't mean that as "taking a stab". Just a response to people who think they can jump right into a construction job with outstanding wages and benefits like it's no big deal. Contrary to what a lot of people around here think, those guys work hard and they know what they're doing, and they earn every dime they get.

Union guys work their ass off, but their management makes them look very greedy while some of their neighbors are losing their homes because of flat out losing their jobs. |

I can assure you these guys aren't fighting to keep their current salaries. Their fighting to get raises. I've never heard of a Union taking a step back. I could be wrong but I'd like to hear of a time a Union went backwards. My point is simply this......in this climate this looks like complete greed when their neighbors (not "brothers" I grant you) have lost their lively hood and homes.

There was a lengthy strike in the early 70's as well when Arrowhead was under construction.I just hope KC doesn't sell their soul to the devil this time around too.
