You're absolutely right, you weed em out and get the guys that will work, rattle the business agents or delegates cage until you get what you want when it comes to hiring. I've had company crane operators from the 3 big crane outfits in N.Y.C. on site on most of my jobs, just about all of them were absolutely the best you could ask for on a job, quality people, but 1 or 2 were arrogant jerks, and when you get a person like that, they have to go. I don't care what the contract says or union agreement says, I'll find a way, get his money and get him off my site, the B.A. will know about it and or the crane outfit who they work for will know as well. I got rid of one guy who was the biggest pain in the @ss, he intentionally held up my job costing us thousands of dollars one day. Certified check, benefit stamps from his hall, in an envelope, got them myself at the hall, and told him to take the crane back to the yard in Brooklyn. Spoke to the crane outfit and that was that. Shut the job down to clear the time stipulated in the agreement and rehired the crane, with another operator. They were told never to send that guy to any of my sites ever again. Just like any other job, you weed out the slackers or jerks that don't perform or you are out of business if you don't.
