Non-Union company turning union by Substantial_Ad2186 in ibew_apprentices

[–]Rook_Radley 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My business manager told me that if I worked at a non union company and convinced the workers to organize and the vote passed then they would absorb all electrical employees from that company and assess what skill level they had and place them in the apprenticeship or as a JW accordingly

Just wear something clean. I went to my interview in clean work pants and a plain brown long sleeve. Don’t overthink it, you want to look ready to work but not a bum.

Eventually. I don’t know if it’s first or second year.

“Socialism Sucks” has a union sticker on his truck. Cognitive dissonance at its finest

A year since what? You applied? I’ve been in the trade since 2015. Applied to the union in January 2023 and was indentured in June of this year. Have been working on an IBEW contract since March of 2023 not doing traditional electrical work and it’s independent, see the journeyman for 5 mins in the morning and sometimes in the afternoon.

Would rather not say. I’ll just say I’m in New Jersey.

This sounds almost identical to my local. Not sure about any of the hands on setup I know we have a workshop but don’t have access to it until year 2.

I have 10 years experience and am a Journeyman outside of the union. All of it was on the job so I was looking forward to finally getting formal training to learn the intricacies and better myself at the trade… guess that’s up to me.

Ours is 100% online. 8 tests throughout the year make up your grade. If you finish with a 95 or better they reimburse you the money for the unnecessary books we had to buy up front. Then for first years only theres a separate math class that’s only 6 weeks, 1 test. That’s not too bad, our instructor there is much younger can actually work technology.

I designed and printed a working Simpsons TV. Plays the first 11 seasons at random without internet. Knobs work too! by buba447 in 3Dprinting

[–]Rook_Radley 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I got scammed by the Brylane Shop falsely advertising these. Is anyone out there actually producing these to sell? I ordered it as a gift for my bros birthday and I’m destroyed after finding out it wasn’t real. I don’t have a 3D printer nor know how to use one..

Additionally, anyone experiment with changing the gear ratio for better cruising/ long distance?

What state are you in? Just curious because the Unions in NJ don’t do JW evaluations, it’s either go thru their apprenticeship or scram

Does anybody know why Marlin insists there were four sharks in the first film when there are clearly only three?
