You know Rick - in 33 years of road construction, I only saw OSHA on the job one time. Bridge job - we were working without safety harness/tie line. They gave us a tune-up and the next day everyone was using the "proper" equipment, restrictive as it was. It seems that OSHA is interested in plant work more than outdoor/construction work. That was 14 years ago. Things may have changed.
I notice it's popular to bash the unions, but I've worked with some top notch union men. AND a few duds, as one would expect. The duds don't stay long. . .
It seems that some folks think we should set our standards to the lowest common denominator. Give me less pay, longer hours (to make up for the less pay) and poorer working conditions! Mebbe if I can find the wife a second job too. . .
A disclaimer: Never was a union member. Too proud and bullheaded to sign the card. Which brings us back to the power crews that were "turned away". Did they go up there to help or just to make some kinda cute statement? They shoulda stayed home. Now we're all focused on 6(?) guys from Alabama and ignoring the hundreds who are working night and day to restore power. And the union guys are the bums. . .

Jon called me to help him discover why his tractor wouldn't start
