[TheForge] concrete

Another reason much of the concrete work in the U.S. is bad is that there 
has been a concerted effort by the contractors and gov. to break the 
skilled trades unions.(all in the name of cost cutting) We are now seeing 
the results of this in inferior work and the lack of well trained workers.
         What you see now on jobs (mostly nonunion) is a few lead 
men(knowledgeable)  and a bunch of vocational school grads. with only a few 
years experience. This makes for a lot of mistakes. All to save a few bucks.
