IT is a tragedy that anyone has to loose a life due to any type of accident that could be prevented. Trust me, i am in the safety business and i do it for a living and I know first hand!

I am all for competitive business and fair business....and i think unions are not good for business.

In my youngest days out of college, i have worked union for a publically traded EPIC company. The bottom line, i was hired to do a job.....if i didn't do it above and beyond what the company expected....they should have run me. But, that is how i am programmed....work my tail off and don't need to hide nor pay for "protection" for a job. If i don't like it, i move on.

I can say because it was a Phillipino crew. The Phillipino consulate has made a press release. And if you tell me that language barriers are not an added risk to whatever you may do for a living, i encourage you to go work in Corpus or Brownsville TX for a month and then come talk to me. Let me know how well you comprehend the Spanish version of the site orientation or the safety video.

Employers could work a man as many hours as they wanted to and could reduce wages at will. If you don't believe it I suggest you watch the documentary called "The Men Who Made America" - now those were some ruthless SOBs. These days a union man will just as quickly tell you that "it's not my job" and continue to sit on his azz. Now these dumb azzes wonder why they are out of a job. Look what happened to those idiots up in Detroit all while southern auto manufacturers thrive and their employees prosper. I have no use for unions - their time has long since past.

Here is another example - all the volunteers from Texas and elsewhere who went up to Jersey and NY to help with the hurricane - guess what, they can't work because the unions are protesting their non-union presence. What a bunch of idiots.
