lamplighter, is it possible that this is or was a union rule? When I was approached to be organized we discussed something like this, but I was under the impression it was terms of the union contract. I have yet to hear of an inspector carding someone. It doesn't sound like a bad idea. If it were to be a state sanctioned requirement I would hope it would be a state issued card, but anything to keep the quality standard and pay standard high sounds good to me.
