Sadly it's all true. And your reaction is what I've come to expect from people like you.I was not in the union but was on a union job so had to work under their rules. I ran about 400' of electrical conduit the first day. The IBEW guy came by and freaked the hell out. I was only allowed to do 100' per day. They made me sit there for three more days, eight hours until the conduit was accounted for.
Finally got that out of the way and got back to work. Needed a chunk of 2x4 for a brace so went and grabbed one from the garbage pile and screwed it in to place. Here came the fucking framing guy all wigged out. I had to remove the block, make a formal request for one and wait 4 damn hours for a framer to come out in a damn block.
They had union porta toilets and non union ones. With a guard checking union cards. Ridiculous.
I had a few more run ins but the job was finally ending and these union idiots come around trying to get me to join. Since I already made the same or more why would I subject myself to that shit? I told them I would never join a union. What a joke.
That's a cute story. Too bad it wasn't true.
None of it was true, it was all bullshit.
