Do they use union laborers to build houses in your state?

It seems like housing will be a lot more expensive if they use union laborers to build them. How come some states use only union labor and others use most likely undocumented workers? There is a big difference in pay scale and therefore a big difference in the cost to build. Do you have any state laws that require workers to be trained, licensed or union? This is a hard question to find a category for. Home and garden seemed the closest.

Do they use union laborers to build houses in your state?
There are union workers in Louisiana, but there are now laws that require it. The contractor is licensed, but the laborers are just minimum wage employees. I know because I used to do that!
Reply:LMFAO The person above me is really funny.
Reply:Yes, union laborers are more expensive, but also very well trained. The extra cost would be well worth it to me if I knew my house was being built by well-trained craftsmen.





It also depends on whether your state is a "right to work state" or not. That makes a big difference on who can be hired to work on your house.
Reply:nope unions are stupid, they were good at first but now laws are in place to prevent things from hapening to workers so unions are useless...

What is the film technique where you see a person while things around it are moving fast?

How would I be able to do something like this (equipment, programs, camera)? Some examples are in Garden State, some Scrubs episodes, and Accepted. To elaborate, a main character is standing in the middle of a busy street and everyone passing by moves very fast while the character remains at normal speed.

What is the film technique where you see a person while things around it are moving fast?
It's known as a key in in television. In older days a weather person would stand in front of a surface such as a screen which was an olive color. In the video switcher, they would have all the graphics that would appear over anything that was that color. You would not see it in the studio as the weather person pointed to places on the map. They would watch a monitor and move their hand to different places. In movies and most video such as a dude standing with a crowd moving by. We used Untramax where backgrounds are pool chalk blue. Another running video of crowds and traffic, cliff shots and scenec backgrounds are added to the mix

How much of a fine do you get when hitting a highway guard rail?

I was involved in an accident in which i spun out of control and hit the side of a guard rail. The damage was very slight but i was charged 700 dollars for the damages. I'm wondering if there was a fixed amount for hitting a guard rail. This happened in new jersey on the garden state parkway.

How much of a fine do you get when hitting a highway guard rail?
most states will charge you the cost of the fine plus any fees associated with replacing the damaged item; also any labor or other expenses that they deem you to be liable for


700 is EASY..........i've seen worse.
Reply:The FINE is little more than a speeding ticket. The REAL expense is repairing the guardrail. I once had an officer flat out admit the ONLY reason I was given a ticket was because the city could not bill my insurance without the citation. Report Abuse

Reply:thequestion you should be asking yourself is why was I speeding? Most accidents on interstates are speed related so I suggest that you slow down. as for the guard rail I have seen the same sections replaced time and time again, so wise up and slow your *** down, youre lucky you didnt kill someone or yourself


Can you still have LIQUOR DELIVERED to your door in New Jersey?

When I was growing up in Bayonne NJ during the 60s you could call down to the liqour store, order anything and they'd show up at your door with the stuff. As long as you had the $$$ they'd give it to you regardless of your apparent age. "Mom's in the shower but she said to just leave here," was a favorite ploy. Bottom line: can you still call in the order for booze on delivery in the Garden State?

Can you still have LIQUOR DELIVERED to your door in New Jersey?
From my referenced source, "New Jersey residents are not permitted to purchase beverage alcohol via telephone, mail order or the Internet from producers and retailers in other states. These sales, commonly known as “mail order sales,” are illegal because they bypass the State’s regulatory system for controlling liquor."


What is the difference between a turnpike and a parkway?

For example: what is the difference between the New Jersey Turnpike and the Garden State Parkway?, besides where they lead to.

What is the difference between a turnpike and a parkway?
Parkways as a rule have more on and off ramps and for getting around in a smaller area, turnpikes are the closet thing to an autobahn we have in the US. They have few on and offramps, tolls always, and go longer distances.





Or it could just be that they liked that name more.
Reply:I don't know about the Garden State Parkway but turnpikes usually charge a toll to use them
Reply:A Turnpike is a toll road. A Parkway is a wide road with grass and trees often with a grassy median.





--- from Encarta dictionary





I'm still trying to figure out why we drive on a PARKway and park in a DRIVEway. Does this make sense?
Reply:A Turnpike is, specifically, a toll road. "Parkway" can be used to describe any kind of large highway.
Reply:Why do we drive on parkways and park on driveways?
