Being a lifelong Chicagoan, but having lived here in TV for the past six years, your post makes me wonder what happened to the construction trades unions in Chicago? For the four decades I live there, they ruled the roost as far as construction was concerned. You'd even have a hard time getting non-union tradesmen to build a simple Chicago bungalow.
Have the unions faded from power, or do they simply admit foreign workers--legal or not--so long as they pay the dues?
