The reason that began—to go back to Mr. Hoback's question—was that for a long time there was a superior skill level with the unionized workers. As part of being part of a union, workers had their training in-house and they got to a Red Seal level of training, which provided a broad range of skill sets that many people would like to use and contract in for the long term.
They don't represent housing. They just represent the construction trades for big developments and manufacturing.
By putting that on the table, nobody is saying the workers you employ are not skilled workers, but that was the reason for those original contracts; it was to lock them in.
The other problem you have in the eastern part of the country, as we know, is the loss of these workers headed west now. There is a real effort on the part of unions to match up the work here that still needs to be done, so there is plenty of work to go around now.
I think that does my time.
