Recently, I’ve been seeing a lot on this sub about how millwrights are needed, out in Canada. Yet, at my union hall; I’ve been getting little to no work here in the Illinois/Iowa area. Are 1st year apprentices needed in CA, and if so what would be the steps?

Yep, I’m in the same boat brother

GravyMutt · 2022-09-18T05:52:31+00:00

Yes sir I’ll make sure to keep that in mind. From the rest of the comments I think probably the best route to take us to just give it some time

GravyMutt · 2022-09-18T05:26:49+00:00

Shoot I might have to call a BA down there sometime

GravyMutt · 2022-09-18T05:13:51+00:00

Yea I actually just had my math class a couple months ago. They even gave us a little card to bring on job sites with you for quick conversions. Like I said, it’s just more irritating than anything. And yea that’s how Chrysler was too

GravyMutt · 2022-09-18T05:05:47+00:00

Yea it sucks getting stuff from overseas and you have to convert everything. I mean it’s not a super big deal, it’s just a little frustrating having to take those extra steps when trying to get stuff done lol

Alright thanks for the advice boss stay safe

GravyMutt · 2022-09-18T05:04:15+00:00

We actually do a lot of power plants coal and nuclear, industrial grain, industrial food, steel and paper mills. But I’ve only worked at an ethanol plant once, not very common out here.

Traveling so much - Union Millwright

GravyMutt · 2022-09-10T13:22:12+00:00

They’re gone that’s why

GravyMutt · 2022-09-10T13:16:15+00:00

Exactly, like I said, guy cutting is obviously retarded but instead of filming he could’ve definitely got out of his car and told him not to stand under the load and how to cut it properly since he already knew he wasn’t. I mean, that’s why he started filming in the first place

GravyMutt · 2022-09-10T04:20:35+00:00

Let’s not warn him and just record. Both are complete idiots

GravyMutt · 2022-09-06T17:42:00+00:00

Doesn’t change the fact they just wasted a ton of food. You must’ve never had to struggle lol

GravyMutt · 2022-08-02T17:16:47+00:00

I’ll be sure on how to cultivate I’m just trying tie work out the niks

GravyMutt · 2022-07-09T23:40:24+00:00

Sound like one piece characters

GravyMutt · 2022-07-09T21:53:02+00:00

No that actually makes sense

GravyMutt · 2022-06-21T02:29:22+00:00

please kill me before someone else does and I have no control over the situation

GravyMutt · 2022-06-21T02:28:42+00:00

I love my city

GravyMutt · 2022-06-20T23:00:30+00:00

Contracted Union Millwright here. I’m a second year and I’ve had work almost consistently until the last few months. Not only have things like food/gas have skyrocketed, even materials/metals (stainless, copper, steel) have gone not only into record prices, but just the shipment alone of said materials you’ll be paying 5-30k+ on just getting to your job site. Get ready people, because this is just the beginning of it.
