Home Speaker Asylum

General speaker questions for audio and home theater.

Bzzzt. The exact opposite is true in many or most cases.

Many trade unions - e.g., the IBEW, the electricians' union - provide the training and certification for all members. Those members' names are then "kept in the book" for jobs that come up locally and as well as out of the district. In other words, you join the union, the union trains AND certifies you to a very high standard, then you get a job on a union site, with fair or even very good pay and conditions that are negotiated on your behalf. That is why many people choose to join a union.

Not saying this is true of all unions, and there are cases (teacher's unions, some service unions, etc) where what you say is true, but your statements have a whiff of anti-union bias and are inaccurate in general.

In THIS case, though, I'm pretty sure the worker was rushed and underpaid and overworked and probably waayy behind on a quota. Put all that on top of the fact that he or she couldn't give a damn about the end user, and you get sloppy work.
