The story has been covered in the local papers, but regardless it is always the same story. "We have a right to bully our way to be paid exhorbitant rates for work that may or may not be good" and anyone who disagrees is a big jerk who doesn't care about working people. Never mind the working people who don't work for union companies, the customers, the competitors, the people who pay more indirectly, taxpayers, etc" The executive director of a local non profit I know was bullied on a regular basis when the general contractor she hired was not union, and the GC as well. They demanded to know of the GC how much the customer was paying (not any of their business) and did everything but put forth a competitive bid for work that would be professionally performed like most adults have to do.
