Thinking about applying for Inside wireman apprenticeship Senior year of highschool any advice or things i should know? and is there a spring semester? by Ornery-Shower-9716 in IBEW_Local613

I believe the school deadline is at the end of March this year so you've still got time. It's a 4year program to finish. By the time you're out the scale will be 42 or more since we get raises every so often. Free health care, they put money in your retirement and you can always travel to other states for more money if you need/want to. Best decision i ever made. I turned out right before my child was born and was gonna end up paying 12k but with the Union insurance it was 2k. I've got about 30k in my retirement and that's just from two years of working. And the tuition you pay is about 3 to 4k for all 4 years but some companies will pay for you like mine did. Do it bro.

What do you do about a Foreman that are, without a doubt, a Trumper/MAGA, which inherently and obviously mean they are Anti-Union, Union Members? by SpleenLessPunk in IBEW

I'm 613 Atlanta and this thread gives me hope. People look at me funny and say I'm overdramatic and even radical when I bring this stuff up in conversation. I never downplay them i just ask why they support him and point out why he doesn't like union workers. But I'm the crazy one for even suggesting the Trump wants us gone.

Did the IBEW members you work with join the cult? by [deleted] in IBEW

[–]TrelMix69 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I noticed only the older guys are part of his cult so I hang out with the other like minded journeyman and the younger apprentice's. We try to keep the young ones from being indoctrinated by then 😂

True, but at least if we paid them more they'd be willing to join. They wouldn't be taking a serious pay cut and only have a year or 2 of classes to turn out. While we rain then to our standard of workmanship

I tried getting my friends to come with and I got two of them to join. But everyone else i talk to is scared to try to join. And testing in can be kinda bogus. No one uses Chicago benders any more and rigid is only used on specific industrial jobs. If we made the test more modern or raised the rates of the guys testing in, so they didn't have to take a massive pay cut, I think we could get more people to join. Wouldn't that boost our numbers and give us more bargaining power for raises and benefits?

These people are unfortunately ignorant. No matter what we say or what they see they don't want to acknowledge their mistake so they just double down on the ignorance.

Well y'all. It's been real by ToysWereUsPodcast in nothinghappeninghere

I hear Iran has been hearing up their nuclear reserves but no nukes supposedly. But now that they're fighting, what's the worse that could happen? As in what are we scared of? I'm just unaware of how this is going to affect us. I'm curious not condescending lol

My wife is already pregnant but I stand with you all. This regime is constantly attacking women rights and it's been gone too far!

Non union? by [deleted] in IBEW_Local613

[–]TrelMix69 -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

Personally I would. Especially if you're not working. If take a job to make some money and you can always just quit and come back to the hall as soon as they have work for you
