No, your definition of Carpenter is distorted, a carpenter knows the difference between right and wrong. A standard set in Europe years ago. Not so easy to replace.I never said you could build a house or a bridge without a carpenter. I work out of LA the only jobs that employ union carpenters are prevailing wage jobs,most big jobs hire nonunion carpenters for $15 to $20 per hour no benefits. A carpenter is a semi skilled job that is easy to replace.

Halliburton "Carpenters" build crates for down hole tools, with 5 yrs. exp (you'll be lucky to make to the 7 yr vested mark) a hard up contractor sees this as a defense in court with the stated "carpenter" verifiable experience and takes a risk.
Poor kids.
