Most people will stay away from that.
So, I am in the same situation as Kilroy. My question to you guys (IE Motorclutch) is - would you rather hire a new guy who is a current union member? Or would you rather hire a new guy who has no clue? Fact is, you are going to hire. It may be a crap new hire, or it may be a quality guy/gal who has some skill and some perspective and who could handle a quick upgrade. Who would you prefer?
I would think, but maybe I am wrong, that most of the current ATI people would welcome the latter and try to make a difference from within. But if i am going to be treated like a scab from day one, no thanks.
