so i was just looking at the new concrete pumping mag. and saw that the company that is doing all the crete work is based out of canada.  does anyone else think that is screwed up?  everyone in this country is bitchin about the economy but we r giving our work away. i realize that it is most of our labor but the people that are ganna profit from it is the company that has the contract. i dont know maybe its me

its pathetic i agree. i say we should build the whole thing with non-union companies to boot.

I agree as well, but from the opposite point of view.  We have an american company up here building a bunch of bridges.  We worked all the Canadian holidays, and had all the American ones off.  How does that work?  Its bad enough we fight for work, but you would think our countries would at least support the locals!

I know of at least 4 non American Companies as the WTC!
