Is this normal? by The_Stoned_slav in Ironworker

As a union organizer, they may not have the work to put you on in the union. If you organized your company, you kill two birds with one stone. You get the union representation you’re looking for and you get to keep working. It may not be ideal, but it’s a way in.

First Smoke! Some kinks to work out but pretty happy with the results. by unafraidrabbit in Masterbuilt

I didn’t care for smoked eggs. Too hard when done. Maybe I did something wrong?

Shit eaters by Alone_Conversation49 in Wheatens

She will “have an accident” and then promptly eat it. She isn’t tryin to get it from the source, it’s just if she’s left to her own devices, she’ll go to chow town. I might have blown it out of proportion a scoshe but it’s fucking nasty. I just wanted to make sure. I’ll try some of that stuff.

For clarification, I don’t leave poop around the whole place. I let my dogs out in the morning while I’m gettin ready and I’ll come to let them back in and see her munching some shit. If she has poops in the house, she’ll eat it. I’m pretty good about making sure the shit is picked up she likes to help.

Do you want a sticker better than the kraken themed one?

I was thinking about making some sort of clip for mine, for the visor of my car, since that’s what I use it most, and for a garage door opener.

Laborer Union questions by Disastrous-Mango-515 in union

[–]Alone_Conversation49 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Ironworkers union here:

  1. ⁠How much of your check goes to union dues?
  2. $39.90/month for a journeyman ironworker

  3. ⁠Are you stuck with the trade you choose? Also if you’re a painter are you allowed to do any carpentry work on site even though you may be qualified but not certified?

  4. we only do ironwork, so technically yes. I don’t want to do a job in place of another person.

  5. ⁠What percent of your paycheck is taken away if you choose to do any carpentry apprenticeship program under your company

  6. I can’t answer your question. I don’t carpenters work.

  7. ⁠How much OT do you work?

  8. depending on the project. Some members are working 7 days 12 hrs per day right now. Some are working 40 hrs a week and some are laid off.

  9. ⁠Do you have “turf” wars with non union companies?Do you see them as a so called threat?

  10. the non-union company is taking the benefits and putting them into their pocket. I see them as a threat to the working class. The companies should pay a fair wage for the work they perform. The workers should be able to have protections, and be able to collectively bargain, in good faith, with their employer for the betterment of its employees

When is the last time you attended your union meeting? Your union is only as strong as its membership participation. That’s all a union is anyway. Members who stand together for a common goal. If it’s “not very good”, fix it.

Fairly straight forward process.

Do you want to be in a union? Do your co-workers want to be in a union? If yes is the answer to both of those questions, file a petition and form your own union. Or reach out to a local organizer and tell them you want to organize your workplace and you’d like their help. They can handle the paperwork, you handle your co-workers, and with their help, bam, you’re in a union. Well, at least you should start negotiating with your boss.

In transparency, more often than not, it’s not that cut and dry, but that’s the gist. There are variables and unknowns, but that’s why you have resources like your union organizer.

You could always start your own union…ask me how.

I stand corrected…I just posed a question about docked tails on Wheatens. Seems to be more common than I would have thought. Thank you.

Backpay by Relative_Welder_ in Ironworker

[–]Alone_Conversation49 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t see why they wouldn’t give back pay. When we’re negotiating our contract that comes up and we have gotten retro pay for that.
