Call the construction worker out in freezing cold or blazing sun 8 plus hours a day a wimp. I'd like to see that one. Such an a$$ you can be.

Do you really think they care? I know many a tradesman that get up at 3am, (very very dark), to be on the job site by 4:30-5am, (still very dark), then knock off at 2-3pm. It's their job to be in the cold or in the heat. They deal with it by dressing appropriately. Ever chat with a bricklayer, a roofer, a carpenter, an iron worker? Get a grip. Ya see, men, just deal with it, and still get the job done, regardless of weather, or time of day.
Right. Why don't we keep changing the time then? Bunch of wimps can't handle that adversity?

All of my family were iron workers. Don't these guys start very early to get a jump on the excessive heat in the summer? Don't tell me to get a grip. I've lived with tradesman my entire life.BTW, both my kids had to catch the bus in the dark from middle school to high school. It was at least daylight when they got to school.

Well let's do it scientific like. On the winter solstice, when day light first breaks, we all set out clocks to 6:00am and never change them again? Course it'd get darker earlier, in the winter.

Its funny when someone that has never worked as a skilled tradesman knows so much more than a skilled tradesman.Get a grip?

20+ years as a Union Tradesman and not once was I ever on a jobsite that started by 4:30-5am.
Intown or on the road, We started at 7am.
You must be thinking of scab mexican roofers....
In 2000 I worked for an electrical contractor, we were building CVS all over MD / DC [ yep we did the one in Dunkirk ] ... at the height of the summer we were reporting onsite for a new store in Alexandria VA in the evening and working all night to avoid the 95 Degree high humidity days

Well I do know that most roofers, Mexican or otherwise, do try to start at the crack of dawn, (no, that that Dawn), and knock out as much as they can before the intense heat of the summer day really begins. Maybe the fellas I know start early because of scheduling the working with the other trades? Ya now, the choreographing of timing certain building element timelines? The guys I know are all union. Maybe they get to choose what time they start? Dunno. However, due to the category their trade, some of them can't work in inclement weather. A wet construction materials that can't be wet when building kind of thing.
