Customer reviews for union contractors
Union contractors carry real labor costs and real benefit obligations — a slow-paying customer hurts a signatory shop more than anyone.
Built for shops that run union crews
Union contractors carry real labor costs and real benefit obligations — a slow-paying customer hurts a signatory shop more than anyone.
When your labor is dispatched and your benefits are due whether or not the check clears, customer selection is not optional. Union Break lets signatory contractors and their crews file moderated, address-tied reports on the customers behind the job: did the deposit land, did draws come on schedule, did the customer respect the crew, and did they grind for discounts after the contract was signed.
Search an address before you bid. A property with a history of slow pay and fought change orders is a job you price differently — bigger deposit, tighter draw schedule, everything in writing — or a job you let the open shop down the street take.
Is Union Break only for union contractors?
No — any tradesperson can file and read reports. But the five-star scoring was built around the things that matter most to shops running dispatched crews: pay speed, respect, decisions, reasonableness, and discount pressure.
Are reports anonymous?
Yes. Public reports show the trade and the address, never the reviewer's name or company. Every report is moderated before it goes live.
