A little on The Electrical Worker's Union. Gee I wonder who the unskilled apprentice labor would be in chicago?

As electricians union creates new class of worker, journeymen worry about future

(POSTED: 10/4/10) Chicago’s rank-and-file electricians are up in arms over their union’s latest effort to remain competitive in today’s market -- lowering the cost of union labor.

The International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers plans to add a new classification of workers who will not be required to complete the union’s standard training program and, as a result, will receive less pay than many card-holding electricians.

The union’s proposal, a directive from the international that will affect locals across the country, is not sitting well with many of Chicago’s IBEW Local 134 members, who have said it will “flood the market with unqualified workers.â€

Now I don't want anyone to get me wrong I was a strong believer in Unions for many many years and believed without them the workers would be slaves.....But when they stopped helping the workers and became political money grubbers at the expense of the workers and decided that they should pit the worker against the employers I stopped caring about them...


Sadly this is what they are becoming....
