Snobby unions

This is just way over the top. (Even for unions.)
Philly Plumbers Upset by Waterless Urinals

In a city where organized labor is a force to be reckoned with, the plumbers union has been raising a stink about a developer's plans to install 116 waterless, no-flush urinals in what will be Philadelphia's biggest skyscraper.
...
But the union put out the word it doesn't like the idea of waterless urinals — fewer pipes mean less work.
Never mind that the waterless urinals would save 1.6 million gallons of water per year.

That's as stupid as saying, "We shouldn't simplify our tax code because we'd put thousands of accountants out of jobs!"

When has common sense ever stopped a union from doing or saying something dumb? I knew some union guys who were thinking about going on strike, even though the company would go out of buisiness if they did! Fortunately, more intelligent heads prevailed. They gave up a raise for 2 years, pay a little more for their bennies, but, they still have jobs.
