You need to come down here my friend, our safety dept, at the 2 jobsites I work at, actualy has more headaches from the unions than from management.

I dunno what union you have at your jobsites, but I know up here with my Union, Steelworkers of America, wont support people not doing their jobs, except in the case that the job is unsafe.

We dont work that hard (we cant, we work in poison, were not even supposed to sweat in some areas because of chemicals entering the body through our pores), but we are still expected to do our jobs, both by the company and the union.

The company however, would love to see us all poisoned, as long as it results in more production.

We have a bunch on the sites. Carpenters, laborers, iron workers, mason/concrete guys, teamsters, plumbers/steamfitters and electricians.

the plumbers and electricians are the worst with all the crap they try pulling. Wer eworking with skanska primarilay on these jobs and management here realy pushes worker safety. FDNY and the other agencies are prety blown away with how well they have their shit together.

Granted these are the jobsites and companies I have dealt with personally. I have heard horror stories from others about the stuff they do at other jobsites. To me skanska seems ok with throwing money around to fix problems if it makes the right improvements.
