I can't get too worked up that there are some bad electricians (and I'm imagining that this is true for any field) who are also union members.
My brother in law's a solo residential electrician who occasionally does a little commercial work. Been doing this for 20+ years. He works hard to keep up with codes, always spends the time on the job to do the work to good standards, etc. His observation is probably 80% of the homes he's come into, whether done by the homeowner or by a previous electrician, the work is shoddy to the point of being dangerous.
I'm honestly not at all surprised if there are bad union electricians, it seems like there are a LOT of bad electricians out there.
Sucks that they're rotating through the union hiring pool, though. I'm sure that was super frustrating.
