Slow workers
When I was a project manager for a larger union shop I would tell the electricians how many hours were bid into the job and offer them a bonus if they came in under the bid hours. Worked very well. An interesting thing that also came out of this is I noticed the amount of change orders increased as well. Just speculating but I think they realized that the small change they would normally just do was costing them time and jeopardizing their bonus.
