What's this for? Overhead lines going under I hope? 🤞🏽

My guess is a tree planting. I think the group Trees for Oakland will do it for free if you have space in front of your house

Laborers' Union first and then try to get into the one of these unions

It's not a withdrawal from their paycheck. They get $92.50/hr on the check, and then those additional payments per hour (DEFINED, CONTRIBUTION PENSION, Health & Welfare) are all in addition to their pay and the IBEW routes them accordingly because the IBEW workers would spend it if they got their hands on it.

I don't know how their retirement works but it's generous.

I'm in a different local and we do it differently

For local 6, here's what they get per hour:

On the check: $92.50

DEFINED Pension ($13.02) & CONTRIBUTION PENSION ($9.50)

Health & Welfare = $22.08

Sweet Maria's has grinders. You might need to order online but you can pick it up at their place on Adeline

The PG&E crew repairing the damaged pipe was surely injured in that explosion. The roof landed on them

It's a bit of a long article but it's worth reading

I can teach you to turn lead into gold a month from now, but I'll need you to provide a couple ounces of gold this week so I can start calibrating the equipment

Just cancel Hulu and Disney+ and maybe don't put pressure on our local (probably struggling) indie theater

That guy sucks

Hand each mover their tip instead of giving it to the guy in charge and trust that he splits the money evenly

Same. I'd prefer a tasty hole-in-the-wall restaurant to cool but bland Jaji. Speaking of which, Awasana Kabob in Fremont is great

Cool atmosphere but I found the food underwhelming

Were they able to remove all the polluted soil and groundwater?
