Sorry but in the refinery petrochemical industry your non union labor always has the best safety record! Have seen it first hand, it takes 4 people to do the job of 2 seen that first hand too. Also the bill rate to the customer is way higher than ours, please understand with the high bill rates we ALL pay for that. Look at auto manufacturers up their msrp rates 20 to 30 percent!! why you have 1 guy that drives a forklift delivering parts to the assembly line making 43 an hour! really we all pay through the nose for union labor, without justification! JMO
Example: Non Union company bids on a job at 86 an hour bill rate and has excellent safety record
The a Union Contractor has subpar safety record, bill rate is 110 per hour and they have twice as many people as non union!
who will you pick?
