Building Trades No Caste System
To the Editor:
In response to Michael Gavan’s letter
(Letters, 11/00), I’m in complete
agreement that high school students
should complete their education and
(at a minimum) sample college, or better
yet, complete college.
I take exception to his belief that to
promote entry into the construction
trades is to “encourage our future generations
into a caste system….”
I feel that if you could pull together
a framing crew, interior or exterior
trim crew, painting, roofing, drywall,
stucco, masonry, or plumbing crew
that would: 1) turn around prompt
quotes you could stand behind, 2)
show up as promised, 3) work professionally,
and 4) service (punch out)
your work promptly and without complaint,
you would be considered
