We do our own negotiating, via ballots, at contract time. We vote for our own negotiations at our very local level. I don't need any protection, my performance covers me very well. I would rather work for a union that get's us about 30 bucks an hour/ plus healthcare and retirement, as opposed to working nonunion for about 20 bucks an hour, plus a small 401k package. Not to mention the safety aspect of working for union contractors. Union contractors are notoriously safer to work for on construction sites. Why, you ask? Because nonunion workers are afraid to speak up when it comes to safety, because they are afraid the contractor will just get rid of them. You tell me why I wouldn't want to work union?

I would just think that a guy that is as qualified with the impeccable work ethic and performance level that you state, would be creating his own destiny rather than having to rely on someone else that you have to pay huge sums of money to represent your interests. I would think that someone as yourself would be ramrodding his own company.
