Boston is a UNION TOWN but “Plumb House” and “Dalton Builders” clearly have an opinion … ABC and Merit Shop shouldn’t exist.
Anyone finding that their supers, especially younger ones are pretty much allergic to paperwork? They claim they are “RUNNING THE WORK AND THE MEN” yet almost throw a tantrum anytime they have to do more than turn in receipts for all the tools they bought? Show up early, sit in truck, check on guys, buy tools. Leave early and hand off everything to someone else. Older supers don’t mind the paperwork and kind of accept it as coming with the territory. Younger ones balk and look for the closest engineer to pass it off to.
“MERIT SHOP BUILDS BEST” my ass
