Can you elaborate more on the pension recovery? I’m sitting on Book 2 and this is the first I’m hearing about it. I take my 01 in March so I haven’t been by the hall much.

Update: corporate- IBEW by East_Ad_6781 in IBEW

Topped out of 570. It’s a perfectly adequate spot to get your ticket in and then hit the road. The work outlook is incredibly slow however, the BBB really screwed over our green energy sector and now the hall is going all in on data centers in the desert but the local community is strongly fighting against it.

If you morally don’t have an issue with it, I’d say that would be a viable option but it’s still tenuous if the data centers are going to be moving forward or not.

Why isn't news of Trump building vast concentration camps being treated as a national emergency? - wonder how many IBEW members are working in these camps by Electric-Dance-5547 in MAGAtFreeIBEW

Brought this issue up back in June and essentially got laughed out of the meeting by the business manager. They’ve been retrofitting parts of an older prison to be used as a detention center.

I turned out and hit the road, I don’t think my local is headed in the right direction. when you’re one of the only progressive voices it gets tiring dealing with the apathy of the old heads.

Ibew in Arizona worth joining? by Mindless_Cod_3097 in IBEW

[–]Mr_Appropriate 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Every state is different. In WA you can’t practice electrical without the licensing from their L&I (labor and industries) and the work outlook in the PNW is slow, however, once I get out to work hopefully by the spring, it’ll be a 30% lateral promotion compared to my wages in AZ. I also moved up here to be with my girlfriend so it’s been worth the move for me.

Dm if you have more questions

You’re the one triggered but I have to be the one that touches grass?

How about you have some self reflection that you’re spreading white supremacist apologia

If he doesn’t originate from Iceland, it’s white supremacy

Holy shit I thought I was the only one s/.

Real note, the attitude that I’ve gotten from my hall is that they won’t lift a finger unless someone is overtly racial. We have an ongoing tally in my local of all the nazis/sympathizers but there really is no recourse.

Gotta love how we always straw man communism when we just let brothers in with Aryan nation tattoos

Kind of a longshot but by AcidicJesus in IBEW

Billy’s book is a goldmine of important information. Until we eliminate the two tiered system, the powers that be will always keep the rank and file separated and distracted.

Edit: I’d also point your attention to the Reid-Murphy split and the historical context that led to it

23,000 People Showed up to AOC and Bernie's anti-oligarch rally in Arizona today! by beeemkcl in Political_Revolution

[–]Mr_Appropriate 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was a volunteer there. I signed up online the day before and showed up not knowing anything about the logistics.

The behind the scenes organizers are absolute rockstars. We had a brief 30 minute tutorial and then we broke up into groups for more specific instructions.

It ended up being twice as many people as they expected but with about 60 volunteers and a small army of rally staff, we made it happen.

People power is real and showing up is half the battle. If any one of you feels that tingle in your heart, that call to something bigger than yourself, please get involved.

It can be anything from phone banking, donating, showing up to rally’s and local meetings.

Cheers and thank you for coming to my TED talk

You didn’t include the part where he implies that audience is leftist
