We are working on a remodel job in Minneapolis and it has to use union labor, because Minneapolis. $170/hr. For laborers. Wow, that sounds ridiculous...But it is what it is. By the way, we need the guys to work nights. Oh? Then it's $340/hr and double benefits, double pensions, double everything.
Lmao wat.
Needless to say the job almost certainly won't be happening now...The owner shit a fucking brick.
unions have definitely been used to fuck over America's educational institutions.
Look at the New Jersey "teacher's union". Project Veritas busted them protecting a kiddy fucker.
It ain't just teachers.

I would do the work myself. Those prices are insane and that is just the labor costs?
That's the thing - you can't! You HAVE to use union labor. It's the rules in the city. Chicago is also like this and it's a nightmare.
I hate working with union guys, they get weeks behind on a project and still go home at 3 PM "because I've put in my time today". Lazy ethic.
