PS305: Your tax dollars at work

This is what most would consider to be a BRAND NEW school which opened in 2008 and already apparently needs major repair work. They've been at it for a few weeks now. Hopefully they'll be done before the kiddies return after Labor Day.

Build it union!

It's not the unions fault.It's the "lowest bidder gets job" fault.the enites in charge need to audit these bids to see if the work can meet specifications at the $$$that is bid.

Union tradesmen can't work miracles when given substandard materials.

So the city should hire undocumented immigrant, non-union labor?

oh so it is not the unions fault that they have extorted the life out of the economy, and everyone has to live like in calcutta and pay hefty taxes? so the unions can have lengthy vacations, great pay and greater pensions?

for every extortion, someone suffers.

eventually quality of work, and that of life of the non-union folk will suffer.

That's the ugliest school building I've ever seen.

Bash the unions............but you will gladly take Labor Day off and collect a days pay.

The only union work done here was the foundation. All else was done by city sub contractor scabs. These are the same workers that take three years to redo a playground and turn it into a neighborhood eyesore until more tax money is spent to hire another set of scabs. They are not skilled union laborers that caused the damage. This is the systemic bureaucratic negligence of the city bidding system. Know what you are talking about before you try bashing the unions who built this city AND STOP WATCHING FOX NEWS YOU IGNORANT IMBECILES.

You get what you pay for.

UNION AND AND DAMN PROUD OF IT!

Actually, I wrote "Build it union!" because I realize it wasn't and it shows.

I don't watch Fox News or any news on TV, actually. I read.

My kids go to that school. From what I understand its not the builders, it was the cheap building materials used imported from Japan. And there's only so much even the best contractor can do with crap materials. There are laws about using union workers to build city buildings, however there is no law about using cheap faulty materials.
