I actually like the idea of local(state) licensing for several reasons. I think when work is slow in certain areas, the market will be flooded in other areas.If it was a blanket license. It's based purely on supply and demand. And when the supply outweighs the demand the price drops. I personally like making more than the guy sweeping the parking lot. I feel that the licensing fees i pay every yr to MA, R.I, and CONN, make me a valuable asset to my company. Since they operate in all those states I can work in all of them when needed.
The Second reason I'm against a national license is fly by night electricians. With no roots in a particular area how can you possibly maintain any kind of warranty. Additionally what kind of insurance premiums will you be paying for hopping all over the place?Just my opionon
