Would you prefer to have a non-union, fly by night tech, running through your house or business, or a unionized tech who has the peace of mind to take the time to do his job professionally and with the knowledge to perform his job, without the threat of being fired because he doesn't do 8 jobs in a day?
How are we fly by night? Most of the contract work I do lasts months or years even.
I am accountable on every job. Why do I hear from customers, "You're the only guy who would do the job, or came on time, didn't complain, was polite and took pride in his work". I could go on for pages.
When I was in the union I sure wasn't motivated to do anything but the minimum.

I worked on a contract project at AT&T and that's exactly what I saw. Not much of anything going on in a hurry. Sad.
People are still up in arms over the big layoffs in the 80's Nice of AT&T to layoff Engineers only 2 months away from full retirement. Only to call them back as contractors a few months later because they let too many of them go.
