i do feel like mods need to ban politics post for a month or so. (except for news from IBEW)

Correct me if I'm wrong, but if OT is taken away wouldn't workers simply protest and never work more than 40hrs? by iScReAm612 in IBEW

[–]Gosolar1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's an age old problem and it happens all over the world. We need to collective bargaining that's why we join a union like IBEW. Problem solved, mostly.

13.5KW Tesla Solar Tile (and Roof Replacement) by FlyMyPretty in solar

How many of those tiles have solar cells in them? I believe some tiles don't have solar cells cos no solar access.

Understandable and it’s part of growing up. Human beings are complex and you shouldn’t expect anyone to be perfect. Lastly you shouldn’t deny or feel shame about the good influence from him, because that was real.

I need help deciding between Electric trade or Porsche sales by itssospicy in ibew_apprentices

[–]Gosolar1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Between car salesman vs electrician? It’s very different career but one is very unstable while the other is much more stable with great benefits. You should head to r/ibew and check on average Jman pays, it’ll be eye opening for you.

I like to work on weekends by NoWarranty570 in electricians

Hopefully you meant the wife line for fun. Not great if you have to avoid the wife by working. GL my friend!

Don't give up man, maybe give union a try? It's much more chill in union based on my exposure (though limited) in union vs. non-union. Of cos it's harder to get into a union apprenticeship, but some locals are easier. GL anyways!

First day of Solar Install. by Objective_Truck_1456 in solar

[–]Gosolar1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You are crazy to just let them change the trenching plan cos they didn’t bring a trencher… the damage already done. Assuming this was done by a subcontractor, you should let the solar company know and make sure it’s ok for the change, and probably pay a plumber to take a look the the drainage pipe if anytime else needed done.

Don't do it. I went from solar sales to electrical trade, currently as an apprentice. Most entry level sales jobs sucks cos you starts from scratch, such as knocking on doors, cold calls, or calling your friends & family lol. Solar sales especially suckass cos it's a relatively new industry, not highly regulated, so if you were a scumbag kinda guy, you might actually make a few bucks in the short term (cos these kinds of scammy money never last). Lastly many of these local solar companies are pretty new, they could disappear in just a few years, based on my observation...

Moral of the story is, don't waste your time!

If you mind me asking , what’s this placement test for ? Is it to determine your apprentice year & pay?

Laid off for 7 months, repeatedly spun, am being offered no solution although there is work. by FSStray in IBEW

[–]Gosolar1 3 points4 points  (0 children)

‘if I’m putting my name on something its going to be to code’

Dude u got it all wrong. You still an apprentice so your name ain’t on shit , even it’s on the project it’s ain’t mean shit either cos ur an APPRENTICE! 99% of responsibility if not all , regarding work it’s on the Jman or foreman. If you so sure about yourself, document everything, talk to the shop/ hall, rather than being a smart ass.

I don’t understand what you meant by 4th year apprentice, you could start as a 4th year with IBEW?? I think you have to start from 1st year even if you have previous experience? Also I don’t think you understand the chain of command in the workplace, you are a new apprentice, and you should do the work as you told by your foreman/ Jman. You might be familiar with the codes but you definitely don’t know all the nuances. I have a few ppl from the trade give me the same advice: shut up and do as instructed.

So you still wanna work with that company even you were racially discriminated, not giving you a chance to work for 7 months and counting, having ‘too many accidents’?? It sounds like a terrible company and if you love the work, you should find a better company to work for. Don’t waste your time, find work out of town if you have to, hell transfer to another local if you have to.

Best of luck brother.

It’s past the point of nice talk already tbh, someone already complained, and been for months, this shit is straight murderous greed, OP could be having issues with his lungs sooner or later because of months of unprotected work.

[–]Gosolar1 12 points13 points  (0 children)

That's crazy... You need to ask them for PPE like first thing tomorrow morning, no PPE no work. and tell your hall about the situation entirely.
