A friend of mine worked for a very large telco as an non-represented IT guy working on local LANs.
One of his co-workers was friendly with an IBEW telco guy and let him watch the install of a Cisco 2500 series router with a T1. IBEW declared that work to be Union work. They demanded, and got, the previous 7 years of hourly pay that !2! Union employees would have gotten for ALL the router installs nationwide. Not a single Union member got any part of those monies. :( They tried to make it so Union members would need to plug and unplug hard drives inside machines after a nonunion person unscrewed and opened them. Silly Union things. I am the son of a Union mason/carpenter. I love wearing my grandfathers 50 year IBEW pin when I go to the power company to talk about poles. ;) eyes bug out. ryan -- D.
