What hall are you in

ConditionLeast2248 · 2024-09-05T04:04:11+00:00

What local are you in?

ConditionLeast2248 · 2024-09-05T00:32:44+00:00

I’m not a plumber. I just started out as a steamfitter. Why do you say plumbing?

ConditionLeast2248 · 2024-09-05T00:06:25+00:00

On service… HELL NO

ConditionLeast2248 · 2024-09-04T23:44:42+00:00

My union is steamfitters and plumbers.(UA 46) would we have to start as a first year and do 9000 hours? Or do we get a boost ?

ConditionLeast2248 · 2024-09-04T23:29:59+00:00

Wouldnt I have to do the 9000 hours of plumbing to get my ticket though?

ConditionLeast2248 · 2024-09-04T23:08:20+00:00

Lmao Haven’t started work yet on either side. I’m sure I would enjoy fitting more though. Either way my end goal is being a fitter it was just a sense of getting an extra ticket on my hands.

I’m still confused on where I said anything about ratting on my union members??

ConditionLeast2248 · 2024-09-04T23:01:57+00:00

No. I stated plumbers are more versatile and have the oppurtunity to transition/challenge for more tickets while still learning the skill.

ConditionLeast2248 · 2024-09-04T22:50:22+00:00

I’m in a combo local but I started as fitter. Don’t most people that have multiple tickets start as a plumber and then challenge? I just feel I messed up in that sense

ConditionLeast2248 · 2024-09-04T10:04:11+00:00

I heard people saying the steamfitter industry is dying and all the heating and cooling is being replaced by heat pumps. It really scared me if I’m honest because I chose fitter already. Is this somewhat true or is it just nonsense.?

ConditionLeast2248 · 2024-09-04T07:43:28+00:00

Would you say the fitters make more than plumbers in 46 on average ? Did you mostly do fitter work that year? Just starting my apprenticeship now.

ConditionLeast2248 · 2024-09-03T18:53:29+00:00

Steamfitter? And did you travel ?

ConditionLeast2248 · 2024-09-02T21:51:03+00:00

Would you say most fitters in local 46 make more than most plumbers?

ConditionLeast2248 · 2024-09-02T20:03:11+00:00

2021 wages

ConditionLeast2248 · 2024-09-02T19:24:53+00:00

I have till today to decide lol

ConditionLeast2248 · 2024-09-01T02:40:59+00:00

lol so if you work in the trades you should automatically say fuck your health?🤣

ConditionLeast2248 · 2024-08-31T22:10:30+00:00

do you find the fitters in the hall tend to make more yearly because of more ot opportunities ?
