For the most part, in that business, the trades, craftspeople, journeymen/women, are well trained, productive and take a lot of pride in what they do, and I've seen it non union, open shop just the same, really depends on the company.
In general, the work ethic is there, owners, managers have mobility and leverage enough to keep it fair, but its the people that make the difference, most show up to produce, earn a nice living and enjoy life, you will find those with other ideas and they usually get weeded out.
Manufacturing, a lot different, I've seen Detroit and its just hard to believe how things changed, its a bitter subject too, labor/management/company. In construction it works, sure the cost is higher, but the work is hard, dangerous, full of risk, if managed properly its successful. I had to do one job with open shop trades, one that was started with union trades, but switched over half way through, at the behest of the owner and his consultant, it was not easy and though most were ok, I had one firm that was absolutely grossly incompetent. That business can be a real rat race from a managers view, you pick and choose your battles when you can.
