The onus for safety is clearly on the contractor, and a high degree of culpability belongs to OSHA. I've been following this since moving here late last year, and it is lunacy to suggest the unions are responsible, as vegaslee states. I'm not a union advocate in any way, but I can read and comprehend. I am actually embarrassed for vegaslee, who obviously has an axe to grind.
OSHA needs to hold the contractor accountable, which they have failed to do. And the way I understand it, if a contractor is not satisfied with the skill level of a union worker, he can simply call the hall and have him replaced, but skill level is not an issue here. It seems to be more about safety MONITORING and INSPECTION.

Right, Scrat, and to take your analogy one step further, if you don't wear your seatbelt, and you don't require your passenger to wear a seatbelt, your going to get a ticket. But the law has to be enforced, and in this case, Perini and OSHA have done a bad job of enforcing their own safety practices. And that is why there is a strike right now.
