Answer me one question Supe. If everyone is union, what would happen if I attempted to hire a number of licensed workers, but didn't involve the union? What would be the reaction from the large labor community?

It's not that easy to get rid of me. I'm just not planning to educate your. I'll provide information, but not accept your responsibility to learn.
In Seattle, workers have WAY more to do than picket. They picket when their contract, and several extensions, expire. To encourage resolution. But during the construction season, they are all busy working. The benches are clear. If you are a large non-union company trying to accomplish an aggressive construction schedule at this time, "good luck" probably won't be enough to succeed. I guess....here.....market forces are working the way you like. Except that the construction labor shortage here is making it unlikely you will find any real skills in locations other than the union halls.
In the nearly five years I have been on this project and living in the greater Seattle area, I have seen construction pickets one time. And they were not on my site. In fact, they were at a concrete batching plant. Where a very large international employer thought it would be cute to give Labor a black-eye.
