Welcome- and your intro begs many questions. Here are a few, and perhaps you might be willing to share your thoughts:
1) Are you a union contractor?
2) What reasons account for your staying busy while union members sit idle?
3) Did the drop in the economy also hurt the non-union shops? As badly?
4) Are you doing the same sort of work you did as a union electrician?
5) What qualifications do you have, apart from your union card? (Looking for BICSI,etc- special certifications)
6) Apart from your contractors' license, what other licenses / certifications are you required to have? (LEED, EPA, RRRP, Asbestos, etc)?
