I UNDERSTAND AND IT'S BEEN HEADING THIS WAY FOR A LONG TIME . EVER SINCE THEY STARTED PASSING THE ''RIGHT TO WORK FOR LESS'' LAW AND WE NO LONGER HAD TO BE UNION . I ONLY SPLICED TELEPHONE CABLE [COPPER] AND LIKE 10-15 YEARS AGO IT GOT SO BAD A LOT OF GUYS WENT TO TRUCK DRIVING AND WHEN WORK PICKED BACK UP ALL THE WAY UNTILL TODAY COPPER SPLICERS ARE HARD TO FIND BUT STILL PRICES ARE TO LOW IN OHIO TO BE WOURTH TRAVLING. I RETIRED COUPLE YEARS AGO BECAUSE AFTER ALL MY YEARS AND KNOLGE THEY BROUGHT IN A BUNCH OF YOUNG GUYS OFF THE STREET AND GAVE THEM A TRUCK AND ALL THE WORK. I AM GLAD I ONLY HAD TO RETIRE A FEW MONTHS BEFORE MY FULL RETIRE DATE BUT I REALLY FEEL SORRY FOR YOU YOUNGER GUYS BECAUSE I DON'T THINK IT WILL IMPROVE SO THEY WILL SAY THEY NEED TO BRING IN A BUNCH OF IMAGRENTS WHO WILL DO IT FOR EVEN LESS. BY THE WAY IT HAS NOT WORKED OUT SO WELL FOR THE LAST COMPANY I RETIRED FROM , NEVER DOES AS I HAVE SEEN OTHER ONES WHO CAME UP WITH THE SAME IDEA , LOL. YOU CAN'T CURE STUIPD . GOOD LUCK BUT BE SAFE , I HAVE SEEN GUYS BUIRIED UP TO THERE NECKS AND RIDE BROKEN POLES TO THE GROUND .
