    As a retired contractor I have dealt with union plumbers most of my life. When I retired (2007) a journeyman made about $35/hour with $18/hour in benefits (Health & Welfare). That comes to about $110,000.00/year, but most took the winter off and collected unemployment about $600.00/week. Not bad for 5 year apprenticeship. JUST SAYIN' John

  19. 1975 all over again! on Solyndra's High-tech Plant To Be Sold · · Score: 1

    This reminds me of the greenhouse built in my area which would use 'waste steam' to power and heat the production of tomatoes. There was mucho federal dollars flying around for 'stimulus' back then just as now. Providing you had the right political connections. The unit was first built by a Dutch conglomerate with all kinds of federal and state grant monies. Bankrupt within 3 years. This greenhouse has since been reinitialized at least 3 or 4 times with federal grant dollars and has fallen into bankruptcy as soon as the grant monies are spent. HISTORY DOES REPEAT ITSELF. Will we ever learn. The local construction company I worked for at the time only lost about 50 large. Some local business's lost much more. No grant dollars for the local economy. It was not political hay back then and it isn't now. John
