Hi Super,

A hiring hall is one thing, a union hiring hall where only the union can say who works and who doesn't is another. You are correct, we would not want an unskilled craftsman building our hotels, wiring up the intricate wiring, and plumbing the fancy fixtures.

Please re-read my post and the others about the lengths unions go to with stupid and counter-productive rules and practices. It is these kinds of practices that we believe do a dis-service to the American businessman, drive costs up on all projects on which they work, and ultimately drive businesses out of business.

No one is debating a fair wage for fair labor. It's when unions impose un-fair wages on un-fair labor that everyone gets hurt. Ultimately, the unions will suffer (they do already) because of their corruption and the waste that they engender.

Other than that Mrs. Lincoln, how's your SC? Still have the Smokey Quartz Metallic?
