Builders typically take a pause on weekends anyway. Most of those who currently work through the weekend might need an extra week or two to finish their rock-breaking, the rare exceptions being the convention centre or the rare project that begins with the demolition of a substantial existing building.
Working that long every day would entitle workers to time-and-a-half overtime pay, so it is hard to understand the assertion that cutting hours would add to the cost. Repeated requests to the association to explain how Williams reached his conclusions went unanswered. A knowledgeable source in the building trades was asked about adding to the trades shortage. He strongly disagrees: “That makes no sense at all. No one is sitting home that wants to work. To suggest workers are going to leave to go west because they can’t work till 9:30 at night? Who wants to work 14.5 hours a day?”
