That's sad to hear.
Unfortunately I can relate to a certain degree, I work at a plant 400+ union (I'm not one of them). I am an IT manager, so if I need a new LAN drop to install PC for new employee-
-Electrician to run cat5
-Carpenter to cut hole in wall and install LAN jack
-Electrician has to come back and terminate cat5 at both ends
-"yardgang" has to move PC equipment and setup
This usually takes at least 3 weeks to get completed, meanwhile the new employee is sitting around admiring the work flow.
Typically I will work late (majority of union has gone home) and do all of this
in a couple of hours. Many of grievance's have been filled against my dept. but if it's not a contract negotiation year then management sides with us.
Gotta love it.
