Pretty successful, about 50-100 employees depending on workload. He took a chance on the word of the Union Rep. he usually dealt with and hired a young Black Woman as an apprentice. She began filing discrimination charges almost before her first shift was over. Everything offended her from the fact that an Apprentice was not paid the same as a Journeyman to having to do menial tasks that every apprentice is started out doing. As she was on official Union Probation for 90 days, she was terminated after less than a week. She was also the last female and the last minority Stan ever hired. Too damn much risk of government interference and legal expense. I've always felt it a pity that she couldn't see what she did to keep minorities and women out of high paying construction jobs they could actually be successful at, Stan was influential in local politics and professional builder's associations. Although as arrogant and self centered as she was, she probably would not care in the least.<br /><br />Gerry N.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8515829.post-14112691638710718222010-04-05T13:15:11.861-07:002010-04-05T13:15:11.861-07:00That was meant to say
