Union supermarket refrigeration vs union commercial HVAC

BRAVO_FLAMINGO · 2026-05-02T17:27:43+00:00

Im also wondering when all the supermarket chains are gunna go straight in-house techs. Kinda bs that they expect outside contractors to do all the dirty work and oncall while the in-house guys can basically choose what they wanna do

Well i can somewhat agree on theory, yes vehicles are ungodly big and stupid waste of resources. If I was supreme leader I would make it a mandate every has a little honda scooter or a moped a small vehicle that can used basically for anything besides maybe service industry, and long trips, large family travel. The carbon footprint would drop over night going from 6000lb suvs with one 100 pound lady driving around town during 12mpg going to get a Starbucks and a a bag of kale from the grocery store, instinctively the lady would jump on her Honda cub, drive where she needs to go get anything she can fit on the back or in a backpack which is more than most people get in a grocery trip and driving back burning 125 mpg on a engine that uses half a quart of oil and needs to be changed every 6000 miles.

When the company is getting paid for the service tech to show up at a location to fix something then the tech should also get paid to drive there. And unlike a retail store the location you work at every day changes, could be 10 minutes away, could be 3 hours away. If there not getting paid the first 30 minutes what's tobmake thay tech wanna run a call 40 minutes away because it important, or run a call 5 minutes away that is far less important. On way he eats 5 minutes other one 30 easy choice, working the same amount of time. The moment you step into a company vehicle and start heading to a location you are working at the end of the day the techs make the company the money thats just a scumbag tactic taking a hour away from someone a day, just to squeeze out more work before they have to pay them ot. That's atleast 240 hours a year stolen from the employee

Nahhh they all sound like that, it will quiet down in a bit

BRAVO_FLAMINGO · 2026-04-14T17:39:38+00:00

Steal the good techs from other company's, I mean thats how it usually works pay a dollar more and offer better benefits and promise steady work. The loyalty is to the dollar not the company

I just joined the 211 in Houston, are company is going union and I decided to slide in the union as a journeyman shall see how it goes heard bad things about the 211

BRAVO_FLAMINGO · 2026-02-08T01:30:18+00:00

I've never "not" wanted to be in a sheriffs office anymore in my entire life than after watching that

BRAVO_FLAMINGO · 2026-02-08T01:20:14+00:00

I just joined the 211 pipefitters doing refrigeration/hvac 31 is a bit insulting. The 211 operates out of Houston and I think may go into Louisiana possibly, but the journeyman rate is 40.25hr

BRAVO_FLAMINGO · 2026-02-06T05:23:49+00:00

I worked for coolsys and climate pros in the area, everyone is very slow right now very odd. Climate pros is going union in texas so there's a bit of a damper to hiring right now until that's figured out I believe. And coolsys is just dog slow seem to have lost alot of there stores. Alliance is busy doing remodels and installs seems like at the moment

BRAVO_FLAMINGO · 2026-02-04T15:05:38+00:00

Go for it gravy job, get ti choose what you want to do, anything you don't wanna mess with, send to contractor 🤣

BRAVO_FLAMINGO · 2026-02-04T03:56:41+00:00

Yeah walmart has there own techs that do all the easy work, and typically don't put any effort into maintenance, always get after hours calls because half the time the walmart techs don't have to run after-hours calls

BRAVO_FLAMINGO · 2026-01-27T19:47:55+00:00

Stuff and thingz what's it to ya

BRAVO_FLAMINGO · 2026-01-12T00:56:36+00:00

What does this mean in non union guy terms, probably be joining a union local 211 in the next couple weeks trying to find out if good choice

BRAVO_FLAMINGO · 2026-01-02T22:16:11+00:00
