If you are going to report on the lack of accountability to insurance companies, you have to dig into what the unions do to fight many of the safety initiatives insurance companies would like to have implemented on-site. Union leaders are unwilling to except anything that might possibly increase costs to their constituents whether a safer job site is the result or not. Bottom line is that it's just cheaper to pay a $15K fine than to hire and train a competent safety staff. If that's what we want so be it, but please stop pretending that the Owners and GCs are the only ones accountable. Union leaders need to step up as well.
