Wanting to get some electrical work done in your house? Or, perhaps you are putting an addition on and need it wired up. Or maybe you have started building a new house and you are trying to ensure that the costs are kept to a reasonable amount? In any of these situations you need to research available contractors to see who will offer you the best price and do it the fastest. They should also be qualified. For example, electrical contractors should have gone through a test for the state you are residing in.
Once passed, this test will give them a contractor’s license to do business in the state. Sometimes, however, they need a separate county licenses as well. You want to ensure who you choose to do your electrical work is licensed properly. Some states make it possible for you to go online and check to see whether or not the person you picked as a contractor is indeed licensed.
The awesome thing about a website like that is that it will tell you whether the license is up to date. After all, it may need to be renewed every so often and maybe they didn’t submit their new paperwork and their license expired. If this is the case, don’t use them because you don’t have as much leverage against a contractor of any type who doesn’t have a license.
These sites will also tell you if these contractors have had complaints sent to the licensing board against them. This is a very helpful when you want to know if the person isn’t as honest as they come across. After all, you’re not going to want to hire a electrical contractor who has had people call the board on them before.
Even if your electrical contractor checks out fine with a good license a good record and is up to date on all the things that are required, you should still not take the first bid and settle on that because there is usually a little room for negotiation. After all, friendly competition never hurt anyone and it could get you a better price.
A good rule to go by is to get at least three electrical contractors bidding on your project. It may be something small that the first person quotes you a small amount of $40, but what if the next person tells you they can do it for $35, and the third one tells you they will do it for $50. Obviously you’ll go for the smallest amount if the contractor checks out fine. But without those three bids you wouldn’t have known if you were getting a good price or not.

Doesn’t it go against a union shop to have outside contractors doing our union jobs while we’re out on strike?
I have had a reliable source (in a different union) tell me that there are janitors, electricians, and plumbers in at the DC who are outside contractors. What’s the point in the strike if the company can get away with this?
they are allowed to in the united states …
“In the United States, the National Labor Relations Act appears to bar strikebreakers as an interference in the right to strike. However, the U.S. Supreme Court held in NLRB v. Mackay Radio & Telegraph Co., 304 U.S. 333 (1938) that an employer may not discriminate on the basis of union activity in reinstating employees at the end of a strike. The ruling effectively encourages employers to hire strikebreakers, so that the union loses majority support in the workplace when the strike ends. The Mackay Court also held that employers enjoy the unrestricted right to permanently replace strikers with strikebreakers.”
as far as to the point of striking, not really sure … unions protect employees and provide some security which I think reduces turn-around and results in higher productivity … as far as I could tell, everyone is not required to be in a union …
when there is a strike, however, a large part of the work-force is allowed to just walk off of the job which causes the company a lot of problems … even with a small portion of the work force substituted by strikebreakers … the best scenario for everyone is to get agreement on terms and production as usual back underway …
NJ Union Carpenters and Contractors – Working For You
In by gone days all a contractor had to do was give the customer good quality and good service and he/she would be set. Then set back and let your customers do your selling for you. They would tell a friend and then that friend would tell a friend. Your phone would be ringing off the hook. I remember as an Architectural designer some days I would have up to four people wanting to schedule appointments for designs. Those days are long gone! But Fear Not! Click Here For Help
