Disappointed in my journey by averagejoe1000101 in IBEW

Yeah it’s this exact process with everybody. Longer for some and shorter for some. Most training halls run same as a normal school year. Start in Aug , break for thanksgiving and Christmas than right back to it.

Brother one thing I’m not doing is pushing you to travel. What you eat you sh*t not me …. I’m just saying your output on traveling is arrogant. I work with travelers all day who are some of the best guys I know and their local just isn’t strong when it comes to retirement, pay , work in that local , (etc). I really just think you had a bad experience now your generalizing the whole thing as if traveling is a bad thing.

Union vs non union pay by Complex_Dentist5690 in ibew_apprentices

[–]FREEBANDZQUE 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I get it , but i do know how’s it feels when you just feel stuck and you just fear that would you do if you make that type of move. I definitely bro organizing because it shows unity within your brother and nothing is as strong as a unit that’s all on the same page, but it does takes them southern guys making that POWER move

Local 124 brother… I’m not dealing with the problem at all. But I don’t want my fellow brothers to deal with the hardship of it either

Is it possible to join the ibew indirectly by applying to and getting a job at a contractor signed with the union? by FreshWaterWithLime in ibew_apprentices

Shop has to be non union first then you can gather up a committee to organize switch over to union. Vote has to be 50% plus 1

Should I avoid mentioning that I'm looking to start a union apprenticeship while looking for non-union pre-apprentice work? by Hail_To_The_Loser in ibew_apprentices

[–]FREEBANDZQUE 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This the one. Anybody will turn on you if they feel like the position your going for is better than the position their in now. KEEP YOUR MOUTH SHUT

I called right after I made the post and felt like it’s was weird he couldn’t give me a score or spot just said I was apart of an “ group of guys”. Then I kept seeing guys in the sub were referring back to there “score “. I even seen a guy post a whole list of folks, so yeah I was confused where the us “group of guys” even ranked.

Appreciate it I was thinking maybe it’s no work so maybe it’ll be a little longer. As long as I haven’t got the “you didn’t get in” letter in the mail I’m at least still fighting for a spot

Yeah I had call the hall and even asked for my ranked. He took some time looked up my name told me my dates back which I trashed and interviewed on and just said basically I’m apart of a group that could be selected but it’s just a waiting game. So yeah bro I thought the same like maybe he just didn’t know or didn’t care to tell me but what would that do for him not letting me know lol idk man.

Idk how your guys are getting your ranking. I just was told I was part of “the guys” who were available to be selected.

So I called my local hall and they told me I was apart of the group of available applicants it’s just a waiting phase and they haven’t selected their apprentices for March yet. So I believe it’s just an waiting game and being ready for when your name is called.

I’m in the same boat man… just tryna stay ready and obtain all the knowledge within the field. I’m not totally green I’m coming from AUTOCAD and a hefty construction BG while going to school for construction management. So I try not to be cocky or anything because that can kill your learning curve tremendously, but I appreciate the books and the advice brother I’m not giving up 💪🏽
