That's the best thing to do is stay with one contractor. If not you'll be hall trash before long. You already know.

I know. The trash I have seen from the hall is unbelievable. Can't belive those guys went through the same apprenticeship I went through. 5 years of school and 10,000 hours on the job training just to turn out. Some of these guys can't even bend pipe.

Nothing wrong with unions except it's like a ****ing labor pool. They can swap your ass out for another one anytime they want. I'm not putting a mortgage, 2 cars, an a family of 4 on that.

I'm a family of 6. Go to work everyday and do your job right and you SHOULD be alright. It has worked for me for 13 years.

But hell perfectly content with the non union job that I have now with benefits. Less job scared for sure. Like I said if your not in the "group" then your ****ed.....

I agree. Like I said it has worked for me so far. Hope it keeps on. According to my last social security statement I've only got to do this for 37 more years. Lol
