We have been hit hard by the big boys and it hurts. But the only answer that I can come up with is hit them in there pockets like they have us little guys. Yes stopping the scabs would be a major problem everyone has got to join together and but all of our head together and come up with an idea that will hurt them money wise. They forget that it was the sub that did the work for them correctly the first time that got them where there at today. Everyone is tied of the ---- work and making no money and going broke because we don't get paid.
>How are you going to stop the scabs? That's what got us into the trouble were in now. The "GOOD" subs refused to work for these cut rate prices. So they went and hired "BAD" subs and are getting the job done for 1/2 price. We can Unionize all we want and still sit at home if they can get the job done by a cut-rate scab...

>>The only thing that scares me is I have done some work for the phone companies most of wich are unions. Ive sub'd for them doing I+R work drop buries and const and you can still get screwed. The one thing I have noticed is the prices are better. I dont have any real answers just thought I would stick my two cents in. I think if we wanted we could organize w/out an actual union. I think If we could get together and stand our ground on some issues the big shits would start listening. theres plenty of people in this biz who have the organizational skills to do some good, Lets get the ball rolling right here.
