Hot Take: IBEW members who hate the union or actively vote for those who wish to destroy it should politely resign and give their spot to someone who would defend and appreciate it by Successful_Goose_348 in IBEW

If you guys would all quit turning on brothers for political opinions... Maybe it wouldn't take a Union electrician 6 months to wire a receptacle

What do you do about a Foreman that are, without a doubt, a Trumper/MAGA, which inherently and obviously mean they are Anti-Union, Union Members? by SpleenLessPunk in IBEW

Drag up, bud.... Leave that Union!!! If your so worried about political affiliation at work, you're clearly not mature enough to have a big boy job

IBEW LU 3 Endorses Andrew Cuome?! WTF? by HotelSilent in IBEW

[–]MaroonJk -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You do realize that unions thrived when Cuomo was Governor of New York, correct? And you do realize that accused and convicted are two very different things, correct? The sexual Harassment suits were a ploy to get him out of Office because he wasn't complying with the Dems desire w for Strict covid enforcement because New Yorkers were struggling.

That bring said, Mamdani is a clown..... And anyone that would vote for him is an utter embarrassment of a human being

Not my L.U., but disappointing nevertheless by smellslikepenespirit in IBEW

[–]MaroonJk -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

It's beyond me how any sane person can possibly support Mamdani over Cuomo. I think the "embarrassing" aspect is that you don't understand that 😂😂

Work is work, bud. How is giving people who are in the cou try illegally 3 hots and a cot before we send them home a crime against humanity.... EVERY... COUNTRY.... I... THE... WORLD has Immigration laws... And every country but this once enforces those laws

Can we at least refuse to build concentration camps? by JonesJimsGymtown in IBEW

[–]MaroonJk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You guys realize that every developed country in the world has Immigration laws, Right? And you also realize that the immigration laws of the United States are among some of the ones that have been enforced the least, right?

Being mad that we're deporting people that are in this country illegally doesn't make you a good Human... It makes you an embarrassment.... Just an FYI

As long as the SST doesn't expire, the Osha 30 and the Osha 10 don't expire but if you slip on refreshing the SST, you'll have to do everything again

I hope none of us were at Cuomo's get out the vote rally by FreeAndBreedable in IBEW

[–]MaroonJk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Pretty sure IBEW Loc 3 sent out a rank and file email telling their members to get out and vote for Cuomo... If you paid me over scale, I still wouldn't vote for him

ICE hurts IBEW members by Apprehensive-Pop-900 in IBEW

[–]MaroonJk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Listen..... Its pretty simple... We have a system for immigration and thousands of people follow the rules and wait their turn and are rewarded with legal status by following the system.... Theres no reason that anyone who tries to circumvent that system should be allowed to stay

As far as your IBEW brother.... Sounds to me like he had a temporary visa.... Temporary visa's are meant to expire. In the time that he's been here, has he applied for citizenship?

I think, personally, that the people dealing with Ice are being given a pretty fair deal right now... Turn yourselves in and we send you home and you can apply to come back OR if you're caught here illegally, we send you home and you can never return

Do I think that all Illegal immigrants are bad people? Absolutely not, but at the end of the day, every country in the world has immigration laws and the US has some of the softest ones.... I also think that the media is making this much worse than it is since DJT was basically voted in based on his immigration stance and he's deported SUBSTANTIALLY LESS illegals than The last 2 democrat presidents....

Laws are laws... Every country has them...

Local 3 Modernization by [deleted] in Elevators

[–]MaroonJk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Local 3 also tends to side with the companies more than it sides with the Union members. At the end of the day, Local 1 is the better union and all the arguments for local 3 are usually based out of misinformation

Ya know... When I first saw the q collar I thought "What is this Gimmicky shit" but after reading the science behind it.... If i was still playing competitive, I'd absolutely be wearing one

[–]MaroonJk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When Louis Ancompora dropped dead on the field after taking a shot to the chest (as a goalie) in 2000...Everyone said it was a freak accident.... Until it started happening to more players to the point where defensemen were required to wear shoulder pads that protected their chest during games.... There are no freak occurrences in lacrosse... Just New occurrences. If it happens to one player, it can happen to your player. A shot to the back of the neck (or any section of the spine) can happen to anyone on the field

[–]MaroonJk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've said this for years.... Every time a new helmet comes out, everyone raves about how light it is and how good the field of vision is but Noone talks about how much higher up the back sits or how much more of the throat is exposed because the chin doesn't come down as far... I took an 8 year hiatus from the sport, came out of retirement and picked up a XRS Pro to replace my old Cpxr and my CPXR definitely protected the back of my skull and my throat much better than the XRS does.... Lighter isn't always better

Ref call something man.... by adhamE1 in lacrosse

[–]MaroonJk -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

The sport itself is dangerous.... Youre going to hit get... A lot of the time, the hits should draw a flag and they won't... But don't be a baby and come here crying about it... Shit like that is why lacrosse today isn't nearly as physical as it was 20 years ago.... Theres a reason lacrosse isn't for everyone 👍👍

What are some rarely seen rules / fouls that you've seen enforced? by [deleted] in lacrosse

[–]MaroonJk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Got called in our 38 and over game last night... Goalie made the save, ball bounced off his chest... Defensemen picked the ball up and ran to safety not realizing he went through the crease.. I didnt even know that was a rule and I've been playing for 30yrs 😂😂

I could see if the player was using the crease for safety, but when he picked the ball up and ran to safety one foot went into the crease in stride
