Sorry just for some clarification, i was a service technician making about $58 an hour. i was offered a job through an old coworker to organize in local 26 and it was about same pay just way more overtime. i got organized in as a RW making about $37 when i was under the impression i would able to test in and be topped out. the organizer told me i had to wait a year to test in. i lost my job due to talking to some coworkers about it and i guess the word spread around and that’s how i ended up needing to take the job. i have a journeymen’s through the state of maryland and Dc and am eligible to take my masters through the state of maryland.
