im surprised it took so long for someone to mention unions in here
lafengas said it all
unions fucking suck
and one more point about unions, and this happens in construction and shit all the time. the bastards are required to be off the job and collect unemployment for a certain amount of time per year, and while they are collecting unemployment, they are off doing side jobs for cash. getting paid for unemployment as well as for outside work,
arrggghhhh that shit pisses me off
