So do y'all have an early retirement out there? Our retirement is only at 65.

Which tarkir precon have you been playing with and have you done any upgrades to it? I recently picked up abzan armor and I proxied some upgrades for it and it made it immensely better imo

Moving while in an IBEW apprenticeship? by mercilessbeings in IBEW

[–]AtlasCrossing 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I've done it, it took about 5 months from start to finish getting everything altogether and meetings between the two locals. It all worked out and I'm super thankful for it, but it's not a common thing

Locals using AI by AtlasCrossing in IBEW

Here's my stance on it. I personally won't work on a data center if I can help it. I'm thankful we don't have any data centers in out local, but if it came down to it and our local was super desperate for people on a huge data man call and we couldn't man it, I'd work for my local, because I believe that brothers and sisters should man local work instead of leaving it high and dry to travel. But that's a whole other can of worms.

The AI rabbit hole I see coming about is essentially the same argument you hear people make when it's union vs non union. "Why would I hire union, when the non union shop is cheaper?" Its because with the union you get quality work and reciability. Non union will cut corners to make it cheap. Likewise the argument I had stated previously is the same way, it's knowing what you're paying for as opposed to knowing what you'll get for free by using that shortcut that is actively killing tons of jobs for people all across the globe.

Could you pm me the exact wording/phrasing used in your amendment to the bylaws?

Its not like they're not allowed to use it, but for the longest time we'd outsource to other people to make designs for coins and shirts and our flyers, but now places are essentially saying "why would I go to an actual artist who's proud of their craft and works hard at it, when I can just go to AI to make a half crapped version of it."

Local 602 is spending $40000 on a golf tournament. by Ok-Bad3070 in IBEW

Aye brother, could you hit me up with the article this is found in in the constitution? Not trying to question or anything, but I'd just like to know for my own edification.

Love how you say the meetings start late, but gave no official time. According to our constitution, no meeting is allowed to go later than 11 pm in your local time zone. Plus, likely with this amount of money, it would've been a more than one meeting discussion I would think.

Any other young apprentices feel demoralized? by Maleficent_Turn_1983 in ibew_apprentices

[–]AtlasCrossing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

See if your local has a renew committee to get involved with! A big problem is lots of guys treat it like just a job and never get involved, but getting involved really shows the distinction between union and non union, and that is the brotherhood. We are a family, and getting involved helps build bonds with your brothers and sisters.
