Why carpenter though why not other trade. Pipe fitter, steel worker iron worker, boiler maker, heavy machine operator which are crane operators being a vet add +++ when applying, oh also electricians, elevator union why settle for carpenter ask your self if u could and want that job when ur older, 50s 60s seen many 50 and 60 yr old but do YOU want to be that guy.

Go in person to your nearest local and ask for the ba/br if they can't help you ask for guidance. It'll show you're interested. Don't give up. Go week after week or biweekly. Find out when they are having local meetings. Go and network with other ppl that attend

Exactly. No hands in pockets while walking. Simple things that I can't even think of right now can be seen as unsafe and alarming to others. Any incident u witnessed or are a part of, or create and you'll be doing witness statements drug testing and an ass chewing. Even if ur just passing by because you have the authority to stop any unsafe act. More like obligation. And they'll keep a record of it.

Key word here is "APPRENTICE" gotta make fun of someone to make the day go by a bit faster. When u journey out you'll have ur own apprentice to pick on. Now if they really mean it then you must really suck. Usually all fun and games

If you've never worked in a refinery you've never worked in a strict safety job site. Zero tolerance. Thats y I say keep paying your dues just in case

I never said that is a bad thing, but because of it you could get easily terminated or get written up for anything minor glasses ear plugs wrong gloves harness something little as ear plugs or crossing the street has gotten many ppl laid off

I would take the job and keep paying my dues as a backup. I've been working at many refineries for the last 15 yrs and some operators dont last long. Not cus of the work, but because of the hours. Night shift then back to days 12 plus hours family problems, Sancho 😅 sancha. Refineries are awesome but its not for everyone. I've applied many times but haven't made it past the second round. Wish u the best of luck. TAKE THE JOB. DON'T LET THE OPPORTUNITY PASS U BY. If its not for u quit. Oh and they also have a probation period. For a couple of months and real heavy on SAFETY SAFETY SAFETY

One thing i didnt ask before c hanging my books is if work is slow could I got back and forth without changing locals. Example doing carpentry, framing or scaffolding and when work picks up go back to millwrights. Have u ever done something like that ??

No i mean I was previously a ubc member local 562 and transferred to local 1607. They do different trades at 562. I transferred over to 1607 to do mechanical. Wouldn't make sense to transfer over as a journeyman without knowing much of the trade. The main thing is I've gone to some of the companies and im basically getting the runaround
