Delaney hit up on it last night and beat Sanders and Warren badly over Medicare for all.... his old man was an IBEW member. So you are clueless, just like I suspected. Do you know what the #1 union killer is? Its prevailing wage. Do you know what the #1 agenda is for republican governors? Elimination of prevailing wage. Its happened in several states already. You may think that doesnt affect you but it does and I will tell you why. The biggest contractors in the country are all public works contractors. Public works contracts must comply with prevailing wage. So the unions get most of their money from public works contracts which are the highest wages in most regions (generally). Once prevailing wage is eliminated every single one of them will start a non-union company to stay alive which means the union will not be getting its bread and butter money anymore. Which means they wont be contributing to your pension or welfare plans which will quickly disolve. I'm already seeing it happen in Wisconsin, Indiana and West Virginia. I hope you dont live long enough to see your bennies run out, but the writing is on the wall. With State, city and federal debts nearing insolvency there will need to be concessions. Enjoy that cadillac insurance plan while you have it! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gold Member BOHICA Posted July 31, 2019 Gold Member Share Posted July 31, 2019 People need power. People can’t live with out. I live in a right to work state. I have always done better under a republican president. 1 hurricane is all it takes.... throw in a Midwest ice storm and all is good. IBEW is like the greatest temp service agency... hire a lineman when you need, and let them go when you are done. Put a call into the haul for a week worth of work and then let the guy go... employer doesn’t have to take on the hiring process and expense to just make call to the haul and get a worker. Union contractor excell in right to work states cause of the pool of workers ready to rock... non union you either have to keep them on in slow time or you typically lose them... they move on.

That would be a big fat wrong! Some of the biggest roofing contractors in the Midwest,not doing residential. Have two sided shops. Have you ever heard of Jones Lang Lasalle? How about CBRE? They were big time Union management companies. They are now two sided shops. Wake the fuck up! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes it is,and when storms roll through,our state is over run with local linemen from down south. Looking for the prevailing wage,and could care less about the benefit package! Some one those guys are only on paper with the Union. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valid statement Vince until you look at where the vast majority of savings come from in any of the Medicare for all plans. Cost of labor. Sorry but asking every single worker in the HC field to take a check doesn't spur my confidence that the quality of care will increase.
