I'm as pro-union as they come but labor leadership in this country badly needs a major shakeup nytimes.com/2018/04/13/nyr… 
it appears, for instance, that overstaffing really is a factor in NYC's insane construction costs nytimes.com/2017/12/28/nyr…
easily possible to have a union that isn't corrupt, pays good wages, and still produces at a reasonable price. see France or Sweden
this bargain where Cuomo gets union support in return for not even pretending to investigate rampant cost inflation is simply naked corruption
also, too, George Meany was a piece of shit. the worst labor leader in US history
exactly!! in fact you might have *more* construction work overall if it didn't cost ~5-20x the rich country average. but corrupt people don't think like this
