see the groupthink, watch as unioned workers drop slag on non-union contractors just for fun, see all the literature on the corkboards fostering this hatred.
meet union reps that remind you of gangsters in movies.
and i'll never forget driving past union protests on my way to work where i made $19.50 an hour on the road doing industrial automation (which coincidentally gets busier when union wages go up... hmmm...), and realizing that the people bagging my groveries make $24 and are demanding more.
there's a BIG reason BC is heading for a gigantic fall economically, canfor et al are really barely operating in many sectors bacuse of the high price of the goods.
a lot of that beetle-kill was already too dry for process last april.
good luck bc...

BC is an bit of an exception in that they're too union happy which defeats the purpose all over. For example, my brother has atrocious working conditions because the mill is the largest employer in town and can get away with it... You don't like working with an untrained guy who might end up cutting your fingers off? That's too bad. No standards at all.
