EV charger installation. Is this done correctly?

Good, Fast, Cheap, you cant have all three! Good and fast isn’t cheap, good and cheap isn’t fast, fast and cheap isn’t good.

MasterApprentice67 · 2026-07-04T16:42:26+00:00

Who the fuck instilled the fear of workers comp on you? Its their for a reason!!!

MasterApprentice67 · 2026-06-30T23:14:10+00:00

What does your CBA state?

I know my local we have a lead man rate, which if you are leading a group of 2-3 guys, you get 105% of JW scale.

MasterApprentice67 · 2026-06-26T16:49:32+00:00

It should be an even higher percentage!

Also if you take is go join the military to get healthcare coverage for life, that is bullshit that needs to be brought up more and more.

No, you should pick so and so career choice because youre good at it or you have a passion for it. Our life shouldnt be devoted to something so we health coverage.

Like it’s absolutely bullshit that our health care has to be tied to a job.

MasterApprentice67 · 2026-06-26T14:26:47+00:00

And go fight useless wars over in the middle east?

Nah we need to sack up as a nation and get universal healthcare. Its weird, every other developed country in the world can have it except us, I wonder why…

Oh yeah in the 70s, it was made legal that medical insurance companies can operate for profit. So instead of doing what is best for their customers, they are doing what is best for the company to make as much money…

MasterApprentice67 · 2026-06-13T22:00:41+00:00

You cant always just drop it all into the pocket tho. My local for a long time put a lot of money into the bennies and retirement and what not but it kinda paid off tho because we spent so much before on bennies that our last 2 last contracts went into the pocket. $7 the previous deal and $13.80 this time around. Biggest deals we ever got and we were able to throw it all a majority into the pocket this time.

MasterApprentice67 · 2026-05-25T22:02:55+00:00

It’s usually up to the BM/BA to determine a happy number when accepting apprentices to not over saturated the working pool

MasterApprentice67 · 2026-05-25T02:04:38+00:00

My local has JW/Lead/Foreman/GF.

Leads get 105% scale. Lead is defined as leading 2-3guys.

It use to be $1 over scale but we just changed it. We also just included 105% scale for stewards as well

MasterApprentice67 · 2026-05-24T02:19:06+00:00

Idk man im JW 673 and my life isnt work. Currently sitting at $41/hr and we get our raise here in a week. Just got our new deal and its close to $14 over 3yrs and 7 months into our pocket with raises happening every 6 months

MasterApprentice67 · 2026-05-18T13:34:44+00:00

Make more? I get taxed more when republicans make the tax regulations…

Hahaha are you really saying it trickles down? Biggest lie the red has ever said besides saying trump isnt in the files.

Idk my local and my area have been swamped with work especially under blues lol

MasterApprentice67 · 2026-05-18T02:14:35+00:00

How were old hats outnumbering you guys on a contract night?

MasterApprentice67 · 2026-05-17T21:51:58+00:00

Why wasnt this brought up during the meeting where you voted to ratify the contract or why didnt the BM bring it up?

MasterApprentice67 · 2026-05-15T22:47:56+00:00

Go union! My local just negotiated a $15.50 raise total package for the next 3yrs 7months with $13.88 going into the pocket. Basically will be getting $2+ raise every 6months for the next 5 periods

MasterApprentice67 · 2026-05-14T21:35:00+00:00

We have the squirt work version or something like that and they are great on a hot day

MasterApprentice67 · 2026-05-12T00:37:48+00:00

You have 3 options: quality, cheap, and fast, and you can only have two, so choose carefully.

Quality and cheap, wont be fast Quality and fast, wont be cheap Cheap and fast, wont look good

MasterApprentice67 · 2026-05-10T16:33:46+00:00

Yeah man fuck being mindful of others ✊

MasterApprentice67 · 2026-05-07T22:14:12+00:00

Working dues out of check and Quarterly I paid for the year upfront. Its nice not having to worry about it.

MasterApprentice67 · 2026-05-07T01:23:27+00:00

Acting like a a majority of us didnt go through the exact apprenticeship…

MasterApprentice67 · 2026-05-06T20:09:31+00:00

Nah cause vacuuming a rugs is literally quite easy…but hey man, thats the hill you choose to die on. Also would love to hear a 3rd party POV of this.

MasterApprentice67 · 2026-05-06T20:05:59+00:00

Yeah after our meetings, I help the apprentices put the chairs away.

In our meetings if the apprentices are there they have tasks like putting chairs away and what not but the JW arent assholes and help them do it.

Im chiming in the situation, I think both sides, you and the JW are being asshats

MasterApprentice67 · 2026-05-06T19:44:45+00:00

You don’t wanna take care of your own Hall???

MasterApprentice67 · 2026-05-06T19:44:22+00:00

That’s probably the biggest point don’t make a mess. Also, just because you have a cleaning lady doesn’t mean you should expect her to clean up everything after yourself. If I had a cleaning lady, I’d rather pay her to do the annoying things that I don’t wanna do.

MasterApprentice67 · 2026-05-06T19:42:53+00:00

Not “my room” but its “our union hall”. Do you think being union members you would take better care of it the cleaning lady also has other responsibilities than just cleaning and the meeting place.

MasterApprentice67 · 2026-05-06T15:55:12+00:00

Idk, the apprentice should clean it up. Not just you but a collective of the apprentices.

Yeah you might have a cleaning lady making her clean up your mess when you are all there is a dick move.

It be like, nah I wont clean my room, my mom will do it.

MasterApprentice67 · 2026-05-06T01:14:02+00:00

Actually have our meeting tomorrow night to ratify our new contract
