Food for thought...
Here at Pilgrim they seem to be having a delay getting some people badged. Plant managemnt isn't paying the contractors to wait for badges. This means if you are waiting for your badge, you aren't getting paid at all.
Plant management doesn't pay my guys, my company pays them. You can be sure I'm billing for every hour that they are waiting for a badge.
But what does this have to do with RP techs having a union?
