Union vs. Non-Union: Training Is Key Factor to Worker Productivity SmartPros Accounting
There is a lingering misconception about union contractors that continues to sway the minds of some construction supervisors, building managers and owners, and engineers -- that the only difference between union and non-union shops is that union work costs more.
The Mechanical Contractors Association, which represents contractors who install service heating, ventilating, air conditioning and refrigeration systems, begs to differ. The only difference between union and non-union shops, says MCA, is productivity level.
"Productivity is a term most people throw around pretty freely these days. But when we use it, we back it up with proof," said Steve Lamb, executive vice president of MCA Chicago. "Union workers receive extensive training and so incur fewer injuries and lawsuits. Their quality workmanship results in greater productivity and timely results, and that adds up to savings."------------------------------------------- posted 7:59 AM :: reference link ::
