Larry,

This guy is over $50/hr. with something no one else is going to experience - a pension with healthcare.

Mortal lock he's working overtime. You can't turn a corner in Boston without seeing a construction crane in the sky.

One of the most interesting things about a "real" job site is the confidence these guys have. It's almost a "I don't give a fuck what you think" attitude but the work is 10x better quality than than non union for reasons others will never understand.

It's an attitude the Dockers set will never possess. They lose a few chromosomes from the masculine gene due to the constant exposure to fluorescent light in their cubicle.
