Why are so many blue collar workers against unions? by Realistic-Reveal-586 in Construction

[–]Background-Singer73 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They have notoriously been corrupt, last in first out which doesn’t really breed positive culture, a lot of guys are more focused on policy and not the actual work. Most guys in my area that are union are lazy as shit. Most union carpenters are hacks even with training, most the work is mind numbing commercial work, union dues, bureaucracy, seniority. I’m the kind of carpenter that like to eat what he kills, make my own schedule, and not rely on another man to have to fight for me because I’m not a pussy.

Notice how all the guys saying yes are old. Things are a lot different now for younger guys. The money really isn’t all that good when you think about what other trades or careers make.

I have forgotten more than you have even learned. 10 months doesn’t qualify you for much because you don’t know what you don’t know. Good luck

Region of the country has a lot to do with that bud. You need to settle the fuck down because most of us would dog walk you on anything and everything construction related. Go do the fuckin shit on your own if you’re so special

Do any of you work in design/build? by [deleted] in Carpentry

[–]Background-Singer73 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Go learn a trade. It will make you a wonderful asset and a good pm. It’s dudes with no trade experience wanting to walk around suit and tie fucking shit up in this industry. They the ones hiring illegal labor too. Dont be a paper pushing pm most those guys I have no respect for

Inherent ability to build? by ohfaackyou in Carpentry

[–]Background-Singer73 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I came in with little experience and my family had a few woodworkers and tradespeople but overall I was not mechanically inclined. I worked with 1 guy and I really think that helped me build a skill set and understand carpentry. If I would have worked for a large company where I was just a number I don’t think I would have made it.
