I hear ya growler, I've had those days too. I can say this - Anytime I am aware a non-licensed EC is working, and it's a rare find, I immediately call the local inspector and file a complaint. We have a large national company based in another state doing work for CVS/pharmacy. Not only are then not licensed in MA, they are not licensed anyplace, and are not competent electricians. Of course they can't take out a permit so they seldom get caught. But CVS took the lowest bidder and they got the work. I will/have reported them every time I see them working. So, if any of you guys see exterior fluorescent lighting going up (it's actually replacement) on any CVS store in the MA/RI/NH area those guys with the OH plates are are unlicensed.
