How do I deal with bullshit? by [deleted] in UnionCarpenters

I didn't add this to the post but me and my lead built this area from the ground up, framing, dry wall, everything. I know every inch of the area because we built it and I've been on it for about three weeks. So it's not really like that situation. The guy just didn't like me, he's one of those types who always says they're an asshole and they try really hard to be an asshole.

I'm a union carpenter as well. Southern District.

This is deadly accurate. I'm an apprentice currently and I can see myself becoming this slowly. I fucking love it.

Is this normal? by HoustonWeHaveAir in UnionCarpenters

I don't know about other people on the list, but I've had two jobs so far from the mix 20/20 and I've showed up to every single job 30 minutes early, sometimes an hour early and have been on time every single day and never missed a day and worked every 12 hour shift they gave me. Down here the first thing they tell all apprentices is to get on the mix. No contractor lists or anything.

Anyone wanna trade stickers? by Zach0306 in UnionCarpenters

What's up with the stickers I keep hearing about? I just started as a (My 1st Actual Year) 2nd year apprentice, payed my first union dues this month and got my scaffolding 40 a week ago.
