that's why we have foremen, journeymen and apprentices. foremen make the most, because the job is on them. i have been a foreman since i got my card and when you have a multi million dollar job on your shoulders, its stressful. i just finished a job 2 weeks early. that's over $8000 in just labor earned for the company. not to mention being able to get on another job that much sooner before we get buried by other trades. i don't ask for any of that. i just want whats mine. and when they want to take $7 an hour away from my health and welfare, so there is only $1 an hour going in to it. that means i have to basically pay my own insurance. i don't think so.
