Unions baby, Unions
When we were in Philly (yards) we had to use 'em.
Definitely not cheaper than using us but they were considerably more skilled.
The civilian outsourcing that I saw was because of the skill level needed/involved.
Some guy doing this particular thing for 20 yrs versus a punk 19 year-old kid that was more concerned about the choice of bars for that night (I am referring to me).
For the most part, I was extremely impressed with the civilian workers and the quality of their work.
Not sure how the union thing worked, whether we had to work with them, deal with the city, etc.
