I know you like to think/believe that you have some idea of what you're talking about here..
I work for an electrical contractor, who choose a price they want to charge for the work I, and the rest of their workforce provides. They then quote jobs based on this price. What we as the workers get paid is not the same or even close to what they charge for us, and if you think that us taking a pay cut would reuslt in that saving being passed onto the builders, you're dumber than I thought.
Ric pls, you think our company doesn't wear the risk for the electrical portion of the job? You think the builder isn't able to fine/charge my company for not meeting deadlines etc?
Truth is you two know very little about the construction industry, but you know how to read newspapers and form an opinion based on the bullshit you read.
