yeah a good company doesn't need unions. A bad one does, to protect the workers.
alex: boxing? No that's normally fairly scrap wood and is certainly not treated for longterm ground contact.
Have you never seen concrete sections laid?
normally you box in an area, fill it with reinforcing rod / rebar, and then pour in wet concrete, which is cement mixed with aggregate.
then you tap it about with a hammer to release the bubbles, and float the top with a trowel.
wait a couple weeks then the boxing comes off
and you can pour the next section using the edge of the current section as boxing.
