Andrea, absolutely not. I have an issue with monopolies. I also have an issue with the burden/costs/debt that are being placed on the elderly and children in community.
I'm not offended by your opinion of me
You have the right to wrong. This is the USA.
I don't want to move from your comment about Unions specially if you can be elected and vote on how business is done in our community. If a Unionized company was low bid and a non union company was high bid I would expect the low bidder to get the work. Specially if the work is no different from one company to the other.
The correct comment in my opinion would be "Buy American" period.
In the context of the post I think it was for work to be done in lackawanna. I don't think "china" was bidding for that work with Chinese workers.
