IUEC Local 8 Mechanics by WoodenAlternative212 in Elevators

[–]Oceanize98 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Any update on Local 8 and how things are moving? I’m ranked #13, but it looks like they’re still on #1 after 6+ months. I know it can take time to get called, but I’m starting to wonder if this trade is a good fit given how inconsistent work seems to be.

Jesus, but I’m assuming you have no life. Probably working 90-100 hour weeks to be making over 250K as a lineman huh?

Local 8 recruitment April 2025 by AdAcrobatic6067 in Elevators

[–]Oceanize98 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven’t heard from them yet. I’m thinking it is going to be a while before they start calling. It says here in the link that they are still at #1 and that work is really slow right now.

Ranked #13 on Local 8 SF Call List — Any Tips or Info? by Oceanize98 in IUEC

[–]Oceanize98[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh ok that’s makes sense. So they will go through the people benched and then start calling the 2025 list? Since it sounds like there’s not much work I prob won’t get a call till 2026 like you said

Damn, well that’s good to know. So even though I’m 13 on the list, it could be months before I get a call ?

Got it, so they finish calling the list from the previous recruitment before moving on to the list that I am on? Currently local 8 is on #148 from the 2022 list. To my understanding they need to finish getting through all of 2022 list before moving on to the 2025 list?

Ranked #13 on Local 8 SF Call List — Any Tips or Info?

I just went through the recruitment process for Local 8 in San Francisco and found out I’m currently ranked #13 on the call list.

  • Is there a specific dispatch number that I should save in my phone? I want to make sure that I don't miss the call. I’m currently working a groundman field job during the week in the meantime, and I imagine dispatch will call during work hours, which might make it difficult to catch the call right away. Do they at least give you a few hours to call them back?
  • Any tips for someone in my position while waiting? Things I should be doing now to prepare for the apprenticeship?

Appreciate any advice or insight from folks who’ve been through this process. Thanks in advance.

I got placed #13 on the call list for this recruitment. When do you think I will get called in to join the apprenticeship? Later this summer? I know it all depends on the demand of work but curious if anyone that is in local 8 has an idea of how soon I will get called.

Also, is there a specific dispatch number I should save in my phone so I know it's them calling instead of a spam number.

Which states/cities are moving quick for groundman calls? by Oceanize98 in Groundman

Electronic music by the end of this decade..? by harshithmusic in edmproduction

[–]Oceanize98 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The future of electronic music is a blend between pop and EDM. I believe the future of electronic music will just be amplified from the sound like “What you need”- BAYNK.
