well thats the prob. the contractors arent charging less for plastic jobs. they charge the same price per head and pocket the differance. thay are also trying to sneek in a clause that plumbers can do houses under 20 heads. we go to school for 5 years to learn hydralic calcs and fire safety standards. we have to know square footage and proper coverage. i have been to houses to fix what a plumber put in incorectly. so its not just the pay. but thats a big part of it. not to mention the fact that the city of chicago just passed plastic to be used in the city. rite now condos and town homes are bid 3 days each. but we are pushed to get them done in a day. do we see any comps for doing it? no, the owners keep it. why should we get less pay for it? i have all this inside info, so i know what its about. some in the union are just out for the $, but i know why we shouldnt take the pay cut.
