I say this as a non-union IT Tech who works at convention centers and trade-shows regularly and really wishes at times I could just grab a hole saw to make the mouse-hole to run my cables through:
It's not your job. If there was a need for more NICs to be installed the company needs to pay for the necessary labor to make that happen.
Similarly anyone could pick up a broom and sweep the job floor, but without clear delineation that is ONLY the janitors job then why not make the electricians sweep the floors when they're walking back?
> Unions, in my experience, exist to help keep mediocre, unmotivated employees employed. One has no incentive to excel, as promotions are based on years "served", much like prison.
Great! Not everyone has to be motivated to work or excel! I come to my job, do the job, and go home. It's a business transaction.
