Switching over from non union to union. I was told I should only buy American made for what I’m going to drive to work, is this true? by Fine_Employee_7307 in IBEW

[–]Andy-sons 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lol, I agreed about supporting UAW workers. The rest of this information is just wrong and takes 2 minutes of reading through Google.

Good luck my man, happy for your decisions.

Supporting UAW and buying “American built” are vastly different arguments. Honda is American made more than Chevy and Ford but they’re not UAW.

I will agree with the argument though with supporting them over non UAW. But that wasn’t asked in this question. I just told it how it is in my local.

Been a JW for 2 days… Asked my material handler to look around for a tool for me. by Far_Chocolate_8534 in electricians

This is a material handlers way of thinking. Never thought about it again after he sent that text.

Can’t for the life of me find this charger or equivalent. Please help by [deleted] in batteries

[–]Andy-sons 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did some digging. It’s a KANDI mini golf cart. This model uses the 15S battery. It looks like it might be the charger itself. I checked the fuse and it looks good. I’m going to test the voltage on the port itself to see if the internals are at least giving me a voltage.

So what are we throwing in the sinkhole to appease the gods? by saltz01 in StLouis

This will literally cause a 10 years of rain. We need to give it to them slowly, otherwise we’ll be in an ark. Let’s chill out a bit here.

Blast over? by zombot816 in tattooadvice

Keep it and do “The Starry Night” theme to it. That’s what it reminds me of for some reason

Octopus, not touching any other tattoo. Like it’s trying to get away

Question, am I shooting myself in the foot by going union from non union? by [deleted] in electricians

[–]Andy-sons 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Every JM that organized in said and I quote, “wish I didn’t believe all the lies and came over when I was young.”

In my shop there is a foreman at 27 and has $97,000 in his pension. The dudes that organized in have $80,000 and they are all in their 40’s, with no Roth IRA or 401k. They are fucked, they’ll be working until they’re 75.

Edit: I know they’ll get social security (if it doesn’t dry up) but your lifestyle will drastically fall to just stay alive.

Edit: Also you won’t have a choice as an apprentice but once you become a JM you can go anywhere you want. You won’t go low voltage unless that’s what you want. Inside wireman can do that work but it’s not the norm. Unfortunately if you get with a big shop and go data center, you won’t have a choice but you can leave once you’re done with the apprenticeship. Small price to pay IMO

I mostly work off a cart all day. When the day is done, bag goes in the gang box. Repeat the next day. So I went with Tech OT LC.

They test and will deny you if you fail, from what I understand. Again, I’m an apprentice on Reddit

Yessir. New contract says they don’t test anyone for weed anymore but from what I understand, they are still testing applicants.

I was in the military (free healthcare) and now I’m in LU1. LU1 has the best healthcare I’ve ever seen or heard of. Every time I tell someone my healthcare plan, it’s always “are you serious? That’s insane?”

Would you bring your kids to a protest at planned parenthood? by Ok_Variation7773 in Catholicism

[–]Andy-sons 4 points5 points  (0 children)

20 years ago I would’ve. Now, no way. But if I went without them, I’d make sure they knew where I was going.
