Maybe his thought is that it probably takes the average homeowner a day to caulk their entire house.

If the same job is Union though, that's 2 weeks of employment for at least 4 workers and a supervisor to get the windows done in the average-sized house.

You're not even mentioning the extra work they get when they have to go back and fix the job because it wasn't done right in the first place. It can be just like the roads in your town.

Exactly my point. Rt106 has been ripped up, paved, ripped up, paved (rinse and repeat) at least 5 times between Hope and East St, literally. They went though 3 engineers over something like a 4 year span.

Now they are repeating history underneath the RR bridge.

That's the problem with jobs that don't have performance-based raises.
