Management, purchasing, accounts payable, accounts receivable, marketing, engineering, mailroom, customer service, etc.
February 24, 201115 yr We had a big, long thread on this and I wish someone could find it, so we can yell at the guilty parties. I, too, remember blame being laid at the feet of GWB. Doggonit, if we can't yell at each other for our past comments, what good is P&R?! Yep. :thumb:
February 24, 201115 yr Management, purchasing, accounts payable, accounts receivable, marketing, engineering, mailroom, customer service, etc. Oh Yeah the office and support personel behind the workers who actually did the work
February 24, 201115 yr Oh Yeah the office and support personel behind the workers who actually did the work It could not have been completed without the support functions. It could have been completed without the union workers. Somebody had to monitor and fix the screw ups those "actual workers" were leaving behind.
February 24, 201115 yr It could not have been completed without the support functions. It could have been completed without the union workers. Somebody had to monitor and fix the screw ups those "actual workers" were leaving behind. Give us a link about the screwups please .
February 24, 201115 yr You can thank the Unionized construction worker for the Alaskan oil pipeline ! I want to say something witty like, "yeah and that's why it was finished behind schedule and over budget" but for reasons you know, I just can't.
February 24, 201115 yr Give us a link about the screwups please . Give us a link about only union workers being able to build this. I would settle for one that says they are the reason it was built.
February 24, 201115 yr Give us a link about only union workers being able to build this. I would settle for one that says they are the reason it was built. To be fair, at that point in time, wasn't most any project of that size and scope undertaken by union labor?
February 24, 201115 yr Give us a link about the screwups please . Not even going to look as it was 30 years ago. If you were in the business you knew people who went up there and you know what went on.
February 24, 201115 yr To be fair, at that point in time, wasn't most any project of that size and scope undertaken by union labor? That doesn't change the fact that union labor had ZERO to do with it being built.
February 24, 201115 yr That doesn't change the fact that union labor had ZERO to do with it being built. read the Wikipedia article that I posted in post 31 . http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Construction_of_the_Trans-Alaska_Pipeline_System read it please http://www.alyeska-pipe.com/pipelinefacts.html
February 24, 201115 yr That doesn't change the fact that union labor had ZERO to do with it being built. Ah union labor had everything to do with it being built .
February 25, 201115 yr That doesn't change the fact that union labor had ZERO to do with it being built. ??? Not sure how you can say that.
