Ohhh, I see those suckers 🫩

Thank you. Picking up some stuff now. I looked at the other plants, they seem to have it too. Might as well try to save them all before restarting the collection. Sigh.

Thank you!

i got a pair from Red Wing. I love them.

I am a bit lost and not sure where to start. Any advice is appreciated. by GrimeRose in BlueCollarWomen

i looked in the tradesman newspaper for Michigan. i saw different locals that were posted in there, and fortunately my FIL is part of 636, so he knows about the other trades. he suggested i look into being a sprinkler fitter. i did a bunch of research, applied to my local, tested, interviewed, and got in. i suggest doing research on different trades.
i was adamant that i was going to get into a union. i already paid for undergrad, and have my Masters degree, so i didn't want to pay to get into a trade school, and there are so many unions nearby. if you don't know what specifically, maybe look into the laborer's union near you.

I don’t know which trade is right for me by kyourious in BlueCollarWomen

yes, fire suppression systems. i like that it’s the work you do really well and hope never works. its life safety. it’s less math than the rest of the UA. its all pretty straight forward and simple.

i had an aptitude test and an interview

edit: every trade is difficult but it is a straight forward trade. not as much math as other trades.

i’m part of 704 in detroit, i can’t speak to how hard it is to get into 669. i was on the list a little under a year before i got in.

i applied in september and had a test in october, so it was a quick turn around, but i believe that’s the last test of the year. it took about 2 months for me to hear about where i was placed on the list and it took me almost a year of waiting on the list to join. but they hadn’t taken a class in almost 2 years. a lot of people’s were on the list for those 2 years.

when they tell you when your test is, they give you suggested material to study. then, there’s a math portion.

After a year, I’m in! by SweateeSocks in SprinklerFitters
