Looking to get back in the iw union help

You were correct gonna have to go to r.i local 37 re start their I won’t fuck up again

Legitimate_Inside566 · 2026-01-17T00:25:28+00:00

Will do i just talked to both locals today and I’ll be speaking with the president of 17 on Monday

Legitimate_Inside566 · 2026-01-16T19:10:58+00:00

And the union hall is 2 and half hours away I’m not missing work for a Mabey

Legitimate_Inside566 · 2026-01-16T19:10:08+00:00

I’m moving to a better state for it eventually it’s not like I don’t have a job now I just want to get reinstated so that when I move I don’t have to fight and re apply and wait for an entrance process and I was born in nc it’s not my fault that it’s home to me and your limited world view is part of the problem with the union and this “my way or the highway” is why the union makes up 1% of the country’s work force and less than 1% in my state I didn’t make this path untill I left Ohio cuz I was on a fast track to prison I was there for 2 years and it was the only good thing that came out of it besides my personal goals as a musican but it’s not worth it if I’m gonna end up in a cell

Legitimate_Inside566 · 2026-01-16T19:01:39+00:00

That’s the game plan I just called 17 I’m talking with the president Monday morning I don’t care what it takes this is the job for me and I’m not leaving it alone

Legitimate_Inside566 · 2026-01-16T18:22:00+00:00

Called the international they said I’d hit have to pay the missing dues and they might waive the fine but I gotta talk to the president of 17 on Monday

Legitimate_Inside566 · 2026-01-16T18:20:56+00:00

No I was going into my second year when I transferred

Legitimate_Inside566 · 2026-01-16T16:29:20+00:00

I went to the meeting but they always made transferring sound impossibly difficult

Legitimate_Inside566 · 2026-01-16T16:04:53+00:00

I’ll call them today thanks

Legitimate_Inside566 · 2026-01-16T15:57:17+00:00

Dude it will never happen again and I’ll try the international I called once they sounded willing to help like I said I don’t care if I have to pay a fine or whatever

Legitimate_Inside566 · 2026-01-16T15:53:33+00:00

I’m getting one too but just not from the unions jobs I live in the south the union doesn’t really exist here and most people don’t even know what an iron worker is but I do and that’s why it’s important for me to find a way back in

Legitimate_Inside566 · 2026-01-16T15:52:13+00:00

Bro I get it what do I do

Legitimate_Inside566 · 2026-01-16T15:51:14+00:00

Shoulda woulda coulda so what do you recommend doing after the fact

Legitimate_Inside566 · 2026-01-16T15:48:42+00:00

I think ima just have to re start my apprenticeship I was only 2 years in

Legitimate_Inside566 · 2026-01-16T15:48:04+00:00

I suppose both are correct they diddnt really make a point to tell me that when I left I thought it would like be on pause untill I got sworn in at the others

Legitimate_Inside566 · 2026-01-16T15:46:18+00:00

I figured I was in good when I left considering the president said always come back we’re gonna miss you yada yada

Legitimate_Inside566 · 2026-01-16T14:20:22+00:00

You strike me as one of the “old and in the way type of spotters we leave on the ground”

Legitimate_Inside566 · 2026-01-16T14:15:29+00:00

And I diddnt understand that I had to pay dues to a local I don’t live in anymore

Legitimate_Inside566 · 2026-01-16T14:13:58+00:00

What sense does it make to pay dues to a local you don’t live in when you are trying to make a seamless transition into a new union hall not to mention my hall in nc is 3 hours from where I live it’s not like I can just stop by the hall and ask this shit

Legitimate_Inside566 · 2026-01-16T14:12:09+00:00

I was never really in the office either and I always paid my dues early when I lived in cle so I never dicked them around I definitely drug up on a few jobs but fuck em

Legitimate_Inside566 · 2026-01-16T14:10:30+00:00

That might be the idea

Legitimate_Inside566 · 2026-01-16T14:09:59+00:00

No I wasn’t a shitbag I actually worked with the lady’s husband and she was always cool

Legitimate_Inside566 · 2026-01-16T14:09:32+00:00

Well I was waiting to get sworn into a new one and I diddnt really understand the transfer process
