If you are on a union job and you see that the Contractor is doing something unsafe [or patently wrong like using Illegal Aliens during a "top secret" grave yard shift...you report it to your union rep.
The Rep contacts the Contractor and the problem either gets taken care of or the next step is for the Union Workers to walk off the job. I've taken part in 3 or 4 "wobbles" and each and every time we were back to work the next day with the problem solved.
I NEVER saw this on a non union job.
There once were a State Compliance Officers in the old days checking to see if your license is current and to make sure you are being paid the prevailing union wage [if you were non union while working a government job]
Now that Illegal Aliens are a very common sight those Compliance Officers are nowhere to be found .

You and I are viewing "Unions" from different perspectives. From my vantage point, I see what they have done to small businesses in the South - essentially destroying them. I have also seen what they have done to large school systems throughout the South, particularly community colleges.

From your vantage point you are seeing how they interface with Contractors hired to do a particular job. Its like we are both looking at the same thing through different glasses. Your glasses give you tunnel vision blocking out the bigger picture I am seeing. And mine are wide-angle which perhaps do not show me see some of the details you see.
