Glad to see some pushback against the nowadays, very overly powerful but corrupt unions. They have now become a problem, not a solution to this city’s inability to get anything done within reasonable cost and time.
And this coffee thing is just the tip of the iceberg in terms of union corruption and abuse.
I'm a union worker and I, too, am against this kind of thing. It makes all of us look bad. On jobs I've been on, normally it's the low man (lower paid apprentices) that get sent on break runs. Sometimes there's a coffee truck that comes, but on high-rise jobs, it's saves time sending one guy down 50 floors than the whole crew. I work and live in NJ, but have worked in NYC on a couple of occasions and I gotta tell you, I've seen stuff like that happen alot more in NYC than here, plus safety is a lot more lax there than here. To the point where my wife (and myself) doesn't want me working in NYC.
