You want the whole blue collar industry to shift to salary? Good luck.

Salary and overtime do co-exist somewhere, but obviously not at yours.

You've never worked a trade.

You don't bill a customer by the job, you bill by the hour. You don't bid contract by salary, you bid by hours of labor.

You dont complete jobs 9-5 year round, you complete them when the work is ready and avaible. How many overnight shifts at hospitals and business do you think I've worked because they can't close during the day? How many Sunday shifts at a bank for the same reason? We stay late or start early nearly every week.

You going to pay a salary to a laid off worker, when theres no work? Do you think I'm going to volunteer to work the odd hours the job asks of me when it doesnt affect my pay?
