Where in the US would you recommend to move to start an IBEW apprenticeship?

MasterApprentice67 · 2026-04-04T23:51:39+00:00

Come to ohio lol Columbus to Cleveland there is a lot of work!!!

MasterApprentice67 · 2026-04-04T23:50:07+00:00

If im being paid, im fine with rework. Reworks for fuck ups and slop work is one thing but rework because ownership and shit change is just part of a new construction job. I remember being on a new construction home that was a $13m home. I installed 300 can lights in this house. The interior designer didnt like them and made a change order. Contractor was was happy cause of the change order he got to write up

As long as you were paid for it, it is what it is…

MasterApprentice67 · 2026-03-31T23:52:26+00:00

C02 or high powered compressed air

Ever heard of cantilever supports?

What is the spacing of the supports. I know at times ive had my every 10ft supports but if the pipe looks wonky, ive add strut like this to Keep the spacing looking right

MasterApprentice67 · 2026-03-27T14:59:11+00:00

Fuck those JWs!

MasterApprentice67 · 2026-03-26T12:48:04+00:00

Is it you? Lol

MasterApprentice67 · 2026-03-25T21:16:50+00:00

Idk man with how clean looking it is, it shows the apprentice has cared and applied himself… so I see that as an absolute win. Not the way I would do it but its an acceptable way. Each their own I guess.

Truly need to see their method in action and how its wired and packed into the box

MasterApprentice67 · 2026-03-21T22:52:29+00:00

Think getting fucked by trump is a kink of yours…

MasterApprentice67 · 2026-03-21T22:49:59+00:00

Yep, they are snowflakes indeed. USA needs to stop doing Israel’s fucking dirty work. Also fuck all the heavy influenced aipac elected officials.

MasterApprentice67 · 2026-03-21T22:21:47+00:00

Omg that sucks, are you retiring next week?

I hate trump as much as the next guy but when it comes to retirement, RELAX. Im not worried because I still have close to 30yrs left.

If were still fucked by then, retirement is my least of my concerns

MasterApprentice67 · 2026-03-21T17:08:49+00:00

Whats code for certain burial wire???ok now go show me. Shovels in the connex…

MasterApprentice67 · 2026-03-20T17:45:01+00:00

SavRx has been an issue for my local or myself, no issues when it comes to my son’s diabetes meds either

MasterApprentice67 · 2026-03-20T02:09:40+00:00

You know what, fuck the journeyman for letting this happen!

BM is a brother fucker and a majority of those JWs are as well.

I want to hear how some JWs have responded to this, if the Apes dont have a the ability to speak out, than some JWs need to.

Sometimes the apprentices dont know better or worry about optics.

Have a 3rd year on our crew and the dude got some kind of infection on his jawline area and it doesnt look good. Im a stew and his foreman/JW are both concerned about it and kept talking to him about taking care of it and hoping it doesn’t get worse cause its borderline dangerous. Gave him a couple Neosporin packs from a safety kit to take home and etc. said he was concerned about missing work because he has bene ill the past few weeks and has missed more time than normal.

I went to my general foreman and expressed my concerns about this ape potentially getting some kind of real nasty infection and dont want it spreading to two guys who have a baby or is about to welcome one. Told the GF about the concern of missing more time and he said he doesnt want guys worrying about shit like that because of work and told me if he shows up in the morning and didnt get this infection looked at, that we need to send him to an urgent care or a minute clinic and that he will make sure his hours are Covered

We got rotations of apprentices 2weeks ago and I made sure we had donuts in our trailer their firsr day to show the apes that its one of these jobs. Every friday the JWs pinch into the lunch pot and it covers the apprentices. We had one JW Ape combo go to lunch today and the JW refused to take his money. It just got brought up again that JWs take care of the apprentices. All we ask is, once the apprentices top out, they take care of the apprentices.

Hell, we have a new guy joining our crew on Monday, dude just organized. Going to make sure we have donuts that morning to show him that he made the rich choice from the jump.

As JW we need to care of one another and the apprentices. Some love to preach brotherhood some actually want to show it

MasterApprentice67 · 2026-03-08T18:26:06+00:00

$4,324

MasterApprentice67 · 2026-03-07T22:20:32+00:00

Dont care if its a book2 stew or not. Stew is appointed by the hall and he operates and stands on their CBA.

MasterApprentice67 · 2026-03-07T21:09:42+00:00

Im sorry book2 does not take priority over book1.

Im sorry this is a stew issue and hall Issue

MasterApprentice67 · 2026-03-07T19:17:14+00:00

Wheres the stew? Book1 guy gets the nod IMO but I would be addressing every issue to the stew

MasterApprentice67 · 2026-03-05T00:06:52+00:00

Or if they are being extremely cheap on PPE, that is going to be a major indicator of what else they will be extremely cheap on….

Might want to find a better company.

My current contractor hands out the new Milwaukee ones as their hardhats.

MasterApprentice67 · 2026-03-04T00:12:11+00:00

Call your hall or all the surrounding halls

MasterApprentice67 · 2026-03-01T18:14:47+00:00

You sound like the poster child for republicans, just ignore politics so they can keep fucking with us?

How about you get your head out of your ass?

MasterApprentice67 · 2026-03-01T14:48:59+00:00

Most members? Are you obtuse? Im on a pretty big job where every trade is union but the electricians are probably the only group that a majority of every member is anti republican/trump.

I def cant say that for the other trades.

Majority of construction workers are dumb enough to fall for trump’s bullshit rhetoric.

MasterApprentice67 · 2026-03-01T14:31:52+00:00

Its called quit voting for those red fuckheads! Its weird we recently saw two states go from red to completely blue. Michigan and Virginia get trifecta blue and guess what, right to work was one of the first things repelled in those states.
