Having had some experience in that field, I can tell you that most jobs outside
of the normal assembly line work,  are planned very well by people with plenty
of reference material and experience in the line of work.
They don't miss an estimate by a day and a half.

So it's his colleague's fault.

Inform whoever he answers to about the situation.

So what you're saying is that he's an independant contracter?

 BF>>> We live in the Trollhättan area where SAAB is made and even they are
 BF>>> fireing people so.

 RW>> Firing, or laying them off?

 BF> Firing.

How can that be when they're protected by a union. Aren't they the ultimate
saving grace for the blue collar working man?

 RW>> Over-runs don't produce profits. No profits, no company, no

 BF> Unions are a drag....? I suppose you mean that they help to make companies
 BF> to go bankrupt?

Matter of fact. They cause more problems than they solve.

 BF> Normally the company and the union work perfectly good
 BF> togheter and the union are there to make sure employees aren't abused.

The union and the company have a contract between them. Both sides know what
they can and cannot do within that contract. If there's no contract, there's no
union.
