Even at full employment and with travelers working, my hall will have at least six to a dozen guys on the bench that just are not hire-able due to bad reputations. These guys usually fade away to non union shops and eventually end up in the residential service market.

Just common sense to me. Especially in construction.
The whole point of construction is to work yourself out of a job.
And the better you are at it, the quicker you work yourself out of a job.
