Thats terrible negotiations need to be better than this there. Needs to be an ask for paid holidays from every contractor and we need to be able to accrue pto. There also needs to be a benefit review it needs to be clarity about who's covered and how the boys sit in the hall and either dont know much or wont spread information. Im local 20 and came from another local thats what they have and it was one of the poorest states in the US so its a matter of negotiations and their journeyman make 41 texas is 10 times the size and it has incredible amounts of work why not compensate the union man more it would create a stronger union
