this is not confined to NYC or cities.
My cousins have run a successful commercial roofing business in a Mid Western state for decades. It is common that on any public building they work on to have an OSHA inspector come out on day if not each day, to have a local sheriff be called, and even once INS. All because this family owned business is non union and has always been. the sad part, this is a business which has never had more than two dozen employees.
It isn't just them. If non union electricians are on site for isolating air conditioning systems if not building main power they too are subject to the same.
The joke is, that for much of the state they know every OSHA inspector and even the inspectors joke about it. Still they have to stop work and dance the dance. and this is only for the legal means to intimidate.
unions aren't just about protecting employees, they are big money for both those who run them and the politicians they support.

- mcguire 10y agoSeems like someone could do the same thing to the union jobs.
