As a young journeyman in the mid '70s I went work for a union floor shop for just a few weeks. One morning before getting our work orders for the day the 6 other installers cornered me in the shop and told me I need to slow down. I said I only had one speed and they said in no uncertain terms "you are going to slow down". Apparently I was making them look bad. I quit that morning as I had no desire to get my ass beat. The unions were strong back then
