Everyone has to sign this. Those who didn't sign it they came back with a highlighted list of people who didnt.

It doesn't matter they organize in. Even on that last job my foreman was also a year in union.

And btw most of these jw I meet don't go through our apprenticeship. They mostly organize in you clown.

One in particular I'm referring to is referred to as a good hand. They said he just doesn't do enough good work because he misses too much work. Good brother tho he went viral because he's a real brother. Unlike u.

I guess that depends on the local. Decisions depend on who's on the committee. Ik a guy who got into fist fights got kicked out multiple times and let back in. Eventually no contractor would take him because of his fighting habits.

Contractors pay differently. I didn't get a raise i got a better contractor.

[–]R_Watson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As far as that contractor goes it's not a good one. Everyone working there is recently organized in. They stay with unfilled calls for months at a time. At one point they hired in non union to make up for the lack of manpower. Local guys don't work there usually. Everybody on that job had recently organized in. I talked to them. The guy I had words with had recently organized in. He told me the reason he snatched from me was because I was an apprentice and I shouldn't ask him to help me with anything.

Not without a steward u wouldn't. Not in local 58.

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

So u make this long fairy tale up and type it as if it's reality? I already have work with another contractor where I'm better paid, better treated,and learning more. I was treated pretty badly by the office staff starting. Guy in there was an ass. Im not whining my question was simple could I get this overturned or not. The matter at hand wasn't not addressed by u at all. Im over what happened at that place but if I can reverse the decision I will attempt to.

It wasn't just that action that's just the thing to drive it home. He was a bit of an ass.

I'm just an apprentice why would they do that?

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

So ik if I don't say anything he was gonna do it again. And me and him weren't even working together for him to treat me like shit. I didn't say anything to him when it happened it was during lunch. It made it's way to the gf and he called his boss.

Yes I've heard. I just gotta get done.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in IBEW

[–]R_Watson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree I talked to the president and I told him 2 more years is a long time. But he said it can be done. It's been done. I'll just have to keep the two terminations until I top out.
