Feeling warm fuzzies...me? None whatsoever at this juncture given your failure to follow the fact that I was responding to the assinine assumptions you thought to make about me.
Truth is, and I'll repeat it...I am not impressed with the fact that you've only dealt with one industry and union for you to draw any conclusions. Having represented more than my fair share of utilities, I find them akin to government employers...and their managers somewhat below the grade when compared to the real private sector where the full extent of competition is at its highpoint. They are fully regulated in what they can charge, and though not the monopolies of old...as damn close to as one can be after deregulation. Seriously, this background of yours most certainly explains a great deal about your position on many issues...you have been sheltered from the real nuts and bolts of American enterprise and capitalism. Not saying utilities are bad, BTW...it's just that I see them practicing "capitalism-light" compared to real businesses in industries with full competition. Also...I really hate the telephone companies...they suck with not much less vacuum than the post office.
As to how OSHA would be involved with the Boston tunnel...obviously if you don't know, you're not in a position to comment on it, are you. Pretty basic stuff real employers have to deal with whenever there's an industrial accident of any kind. You always ask folks here to educate you...the answer is no. And if you don't know...kindly STFU about things you don't know about.

You made some assinine comments about where I was coming from...I responded in a comparative nature. I did not mean to invite you to respond with your resume of experience, such as it is, and frankly, it is less than I thought.
I'm more interested in the owners of business who have their own ass out there while dealing with unions, or managers who live in the real world of non-government supported industries such as utilities with regulated price-fixing.
Warm fuzzies? You can snuggle up to my big warm fuzzy...
BTW, you're right...no reason for us to like each other from our past online discussions, so now I hate you. Feel better?
