“Being with a union is like a partnership. We have an open line of communication. If I’m slow at work, the representatives are out there trying to find me places to go, giving me leads for jobs. These guys are out there working for me and for their membership. By keeping me busy, they’re keeping the membership busy, and it works for everyone.”
– Jack Titlow,
Hunter Mechanical
“ It has definitely allowed us to be more aggressive in bidding. Just to know that you don’t have to worry about the staffing in the background, and you can just be aggressive on focusing on the structure of the job and obtaining the job – it’s a great asset to have.”
– Stan Wiley,
DeWitt Heating & Air Conditioning
“For me, it’s definitely worth it because the guys that I have working for me don’t give me a bunch of headaches since they know what they’re doing. They understand what needs to be done and they get it done safely and efficiently.”
