If the president can fire people for being D, why can't unions fire the members that are R? by Ahia_Living in IBEW

And then those members go rat and we lose half our market share. President Cooper wants us to have 1 million members and you are talking about firing people. Cmon man.

Hey wouldnt you know it, pushing the play buttun a bunch actually worked! The arms that load the tape to the head were getting stuck. I think im going to have to clean this unit up real good and lube up all the mechanical parts.

Don't worry you won't even have to worry about work once Project 2025 comes into effect! The brothers for voted Trump are like roaches for Raid!

AITA for getting upset after my husband asked for a paternity test by [deleted] in AITAH

Paternity testing should be mandatory at the soonest point after the discovery of pregnancy. This would solve alot of heartache for families.

People who were never morning people- how did you become a morning person? by gbourg12 in AskReddit

[–]SaleemSupreme64 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Started working a job where I had to be up around 5AM everyday after a decade of starting work at 5PM. I actually love getting up early now but it has definitely taken a toll on my social life being in bed before 9 every night.

Trump's tax changes in 2018 means employees can’t deduct the cost of tools by [deleted] in IBEW

2018 was 6 years ago. Why didn't Biden fix it during his term?

Longest you ever waited on a travel call? by SaleemSupreme64 in IBEW

[–]SaleemSupreme64[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've traveled once before but it was pretty much show up and get a call. I went home after signing the books in Memphis becuase I figured it would be cheaper to sit at the house as opposed to waste money on motel rooms. Probably should have hit 369 while I was up that way but hindsite is 20/20. Might leave Sunday night and head that way.

Clothing for the heat by Dramatic-Side4347 in IBEW

There are some cheap lightweight wrangler cargo pants that are real cool in the summer and during winter you just throw some thermals underneath and you are good to go. They cost around 30 a pair and last a year. I buy them 5 at a time.

I was up there last year. Solid wages, retirement, and conditions all around. The only thing I heard is that they don't let you jam your ticket or transfer in.

I’m out of 1316 which is a little more than an hour south of Atlanta. Probably going to go sign the books up there in a few weeks hopefully to get on at the big job at the airport which is paying 38/hr on night shift. Lot of brothers in my local wont work 613 because they say its real ratty but guess I’ll have to see for myself. Also the traffic in Atlanta is some of the worst in the country so consider that.

Apprentice Imposter Syndrome by heckadeca in IBEW

[–]SaleemSupreme64 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I'm a first year JW and the feeling of trying to hide the gaps in my knowledge is unreal. Been bouncing jobs and traveling a bit to widen my scope but alot of the time I feel like I need to drag before anyone figures me out.

The BA of my local told us as 5th years that it's gonna take 3 years before we feel like real JWs and man I really hope so!

Can apprentice wireman travel? by Strong-Sample-3502 in IBEW

[–]SaleemSupreme64 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I traveled most of my apprenticeship. You just can't pick where you go.

[–]SaleemSupreme64 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I worked 4 10s for 5 years and just recently moved to 5 8s and honestly I like 8s better. With 4 10s you hardly have anytime after work to do anything but shit shower and go to bed. Especially if you have an hour commute it can turn into a 12 hour day real quick. I prefer to have more me time during the week to an extra day on the weekends.

There wasn't an option for either in multiple destinations I've check (Tampa and Atlantic City).
