N.J. home builders hammered by SCI Newark Star Ledger, NJ
Marty Schwartz, president of the Essex County Building and Construction Trades Council, said unions probably would not be averse to licensing carpenters and masons, because they already stress education.
'People who don't go through an apprenticeship program like our members do basically learn from the person who is working next to them,' Schwartz said. 'If the person next to them doesn't have the skills, that gets passed on.'
He conceded, however, that the higher cost of union work generally has meant residential builders do not belong to unions. Charlotte Gaal, the SCI's deputy director, said the investigation found subcontractors for some of the state's biggest builders hiring day laborers or other unskilled craftsmen.------------------------------------------- posted 12:38 PM :: reference link ::
