Quoting "Eric S. Sande" <[email protected]>:
Face it, the average VZ union employee is very extremely well paid for professional services. That would include the guy/gal who actually does the hookup. Sorry, Reid, I just objected to the tone, I guess.
No tone was intended. All I was saying is that you keep telling Betty it's too expensive to run FiOS to her in the sticks of eastern MD. The article you posted a link for gave the figures of $750 for the build (per household), $600 to the house, and a 50% take rate.
As for Pedro an' them, all I know is what I see. Non-Anglo-Saxon or non-African-American individuals running the picks and shovels. Documented or not, union or not, I don't know.
If they are union contractors paying good wages, then it's a sad state of affairs given a 10% unemployment rate that they'd still have to go off-shore to find people willing to do the work.
Or maybe I'm hypersensitive on this issue. No harm intended.
No worries. We good? I'll buy the next round. ************************************************************************* ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** *************************************************************************
