The union handling crane erection in NYC has to be proud of their fine
craftsmanship and work safety these days..................


Lowest common denominator, once again?


Probably a business cost cutting measure. Like the recent one where
Southwest Airlines wanted to save money and decided they didn't want to
perform all the required maintenance on some of their planes. Lucky for them
they didn't have any crashes but that's management for you. When things
start going poorly for them they do whatever they think they need to if they
want to return to profitability. You guys are always quick on the draw to
pin anything you can to the union but have nothing but praise for the
managers. I'm expecting you to be saying lots of nice things about the
people that ran Bear Sterns. After all they weren't in a union so they're
off limits.
