I heard that about those electrical workers driving 24 hours from Alabama ( I heard to NY) to help but were turned away since they were union. Can you imagine? All those people are so desperate yet the workers weren't allowed????!!!! I think often it is the union bosses not the union members who are so greedy.

Not only union restrictions but state license. Trade people license in one state cannot work in another state unless the state makes an emergency agreement. My daughter is a licensed insurance adjuster/appraiser in Mass. When Katrina hit the Southern states, MetLife sent her to Louisiana to help out in the emergency, only to return home because Louisiana will only allow adjusters license in the state. To qualify requires so many hours working in the state and to past a test. You would think states would waiver license restrictions in case of emergency? Do license requirements vary that much between states? I would not think so. Most states adopt the RBC codes and the Feds set guidelines.
