These places do not have cameras and evidence that point to malicious
intent to destroy your network?

I'm sorry but that would make me just about irate, and definitely insist
on moving the equipment ASAP. I don't plan on paying for colo facilities
that I have any doubt in the integrity of the people with access to the
facility.

(Similar Disclaimer: I've never met a union worker that wanted to do more
for the customer, than for themselves. Their blatant apathy can be a
detriment to real work in times of emergencies.)

Not pretty outcome, no matter how much redundancy you have.

Fire code is not compatible with Union rules.

there are good Union workers, but I have never met any professionally -- I

plenty AFTER retirement though).

We have always had more of an issue with "Union Members" rather than
"Verizon Employees" per se.  If you don't use Union Labor to install in
Boston or New York you had best have a secured cabinet or else 25 pair
bundles seem to spontaneously develop slices.
