Nah... Bunch of liberal bullshit. I ran a big paint shop... In my day, bought more oil varnish than anyone west of the Mississippi.
It was a jippo shop. We got paid union scale on anything we cared to participate in that demanded it, but generally stayed away from union jobs. More bullcrap than they were worth.
But I could always, always take the work away from the no-account union shops. With just a phone call.
