| Question about construction workers. As I logged in about 1300 miles this week I drove through various construction sites. I have never worked construction so I have a question. Of ALL the people working how do they pick who holds the signs that stop traffic? Is it a punishment or reward? Is it the most senior or least? Is it the most inexperienced? Is there like a "construction worker" of the month competition and the winner gets to hold the sign? Perhaps its the dumbest person that would probably injure or maim another worker if they were put to work with the rest...I often see what appears to be (but not really sure sometimes) women holding the sign. Help me on this because it's a deep, philosophical question that I'm losing sleep over.

| You Sir are a deeply disturbed person in need of professional help. Rejoice that the signs are still in English.

| Flaggers are specifically hired for this job. Usually is a low paying job, and alot of times it is a temporary position. |

| Nope. I used to be a flogger, but I got tired of beating the drum. So they said, if you can't beat it, then let somebody else beat it ( or was it "join them"?). Anyway, I knew some flaggers back in the days. Standing out in that heat and sun all day, turned them from flaggers to naggers---------  |

| cute - The women are probably far better at directing traffic and judging fairness and distance of traffic - therefore women flaggers. Down here I see more men on contruction sites than women - flaggers included.
