Quite so. I worked for Cianbro in the summer of 1992. I still work for them, sort of, in that I do public relations writing for the firm that handles their account. I had a long-standing fondness for the company's safety culture and its management's focus on employee relations. You don't see open-shop (or, as they like to call it now, merit-shop) employee-owned general contractors with safety standards higher than the government's all that often. I felt they deserved to be immortalized, after a fashion.
