It seems that the steward is implying that nonunion workers are not skilled. This isn’t true. Otherwise it wouldn’t be possible for so much of construction to be nonunion.
The greater occurrence of accidents in nonunion construction sites has to do with the bosses having more control over working conditions, particularly over workers without documents, not the skills of the workers on the job site.
