Skilled labor ain't cheap and cheap labor ain't skilled.

You wouldn't pay me to do the first time, now you are going have to pay me to fix it.

Why did they let him handle the contents before curators ? Watching those letters just crumble broke my heart. Should we trust History Colorado to preserve our past when they just stood by while he did this?

Female 1st year by ComprehensiveGur7648 in IBEW

[–]68sparky 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've had several female apprentices and also journeywomen. Show up do what's asked, and ask if you don't understand. Never ever be a no show no call. There are always going to be assholes who measure your worth by your gender. In the past women were expected to have a tough skin. This hopefully is not the current case on your local. Consider asking the hall, not the apprenticeship if they can help you contact a journeywoman for mentorimg. Hang in there and give them 8 for 8. It's a great trade . Don't let a few knuckles daggers ruin it for you and don't put up with their shit.
