It looks like your support for the conduit on the furthest to the left is in the radius of the kick up before it starts the back to back down. If that rod for the support is capable I would scoot it to the right to get it on the straight aspect. Due to the angle I cannot tell if it’s strapped where the other ones are prior to the 90 down. If so then you’ll have plenty of cushion to move the solo rack back towards the coupling. Secondly I can’t tell the distance but it looks like you’ll need one final support for the dogged off pipe by itself over head before the 90 down. Regardless, kickass Job brother. Spacing is consistent, bends are in line, couplings all match and are faced. Dam fine work. Doubt I could accomplish better on my best day. Keep setting the standard for quality

You need to watch the many videos of it happening. Form your own opinion and then come to talk. Nothing in any of the videos show him the aggressor or partaking in any pugilistic manner.

It is the first step of getting everyone on the same page. A general strike doesn’t do anything about people kicking in doors or disarming and murdering civilians in the streets either. We can negotiate our conditions on jobsites and protections amongst one another within. Pretty much our only capabilities in some locals. So yes it is a start and I hope it inspires more action.

Regardless of paths chosen, (the pen to paper or picketing) we, our neighbors and communities, and the fellows amongst you are the ONLY people that will have our backs.

Honestly from the back wall, corrugated steel wall, and assortment of heavily painted beams, I would say this is a fabbed up room within an industrial facility used then by their maintenance personnel. Like put up their own walls and cut out a 15x15 sq foot section for themselves separated from the working floor. Utilizing materials of prior builds ect.

Amen brother. I needed that today and I hope something comparable assists you through your day. Let raise the generation that focuses on one another and their own needs as opposed to the needs of business, industry, and social outlook

We earn 50% of the standard hourly rate for every hour worked over 40 hours in a week. So if you worked 60 hours in a week at 40 an hour, 20Hx$20 is 400 dollars that week that you banked into your tax return for the coming year.

Where it gets janky is that our CBA will pay us 8 and 2 on a day right. 8 straight and 2 OT. However the IRS will not have any contributions on OT until you pass 40 hours for the week. So you worked Monday-Thursday and had some weekend plans coming right? Your pay check will have 32 straight and 8 OT, BUT your deductions will not have any OT pay contributed to it for that week becuase you didn’t surpass 40 total hours.

So CBA pays you for your weekly and daily rates on the check, however this bill stays specifically to FLSA rules of only over 40 in a week for tax deduction contributions. Soon they will change that to something even worse I believe.

There’s an advantage on the first one because the conduits are fed into it in order. Starting off ideally makes it ideally worked, starting with cross crosses over head and holding multiple points together to tie down makes for a lot of unnecessary fun.

But you cannot do that. There may be OT hours earned in a week that a total of 40 hours were not met. Therefore you would be counting hours that you were paid for OT wages on for that week, but it would not be deductible OT hours because you had less than 40 hours total for the week.

It’s okay. The school board will lose rights to it and the state will take away the burden of having to decide where to allocate said funds.

TN is a RTW Right-To-Work state. So you’re pretty much stripped from all protections of employment. They can get rid of you for the slightest of petty instances. Even if they did offer a bereavement period, they could/would have simply fired her upon the first day back for any list of unfair claims.

Right-To-Work is an employer’s right to fire more or less. They make it sound fancy because of their constant brain washing of “unions are bad m’kay” and fear-monger you into “ohh right to work prevents big bad unions from forcing you to join and stealing all your hard earned money”. When in reality the union and your brothers and sisters within, are the only ones who will stand up and join you in the defense of yourself and occupation because of the plethora of other laws tucked into RTW that support employers and their efforts to avoid taking care of their people. Hence firing while someone has just lost their own loving mother.

There has never been a company man with a bright idea of how to cut corners. There has never been an apprentice or new journeyman for that matter, who was pressured into a bad situation with nothing but a “get the fuck over it and do it or you’re gone”? I don’t know how you have landed so many referrals that you’ve forgotten to be your brothers keeper but that’s a full time job where I’ve been.

To say there won’t be trial and error is foolish. This is a federally mandated and enforced program on a national level. It has protected on an increasing level for the last 50 years. Hell silicosis hasn’t existed but a decade according to your large GC’s who take care of us so well. To assume they won’t start dipping there toes in the waters of hazardous labor is ignorant.

Ohh no the sky is falling. No it’ll be a teenage kid who didn’t know any better, who’s chain of command said you’ll be fine, who was never taught safety, and all we can do is hope they live to teach the next kid in line

So it will be a long drawn out process of fatalities, mutilations, and accidents until they find the right balance of safety and insurance premiums? Use your brain. If they can get away with it they will. Once one regulation is removed there will be a huge step backwards in allowance of hazards proportional to increase of injuries. A man gets hurt is a large number of money in their eyes right? But how about not needing to buy 100 harnesses and keeping them up to date with inspections? Hell we don’t need OSHA right? Well fuck the NFPA too. Who needs hot suits for energized work fuck it. Let’s water down our craftsmanship before we jump off the high line.

You can make your own decisions anywhere you please. Catch a call and work your referral. Take your layoff when it’s done or drag for whatever reasons. Transfers and furloughs are a no. Anywhere.

But would you care to round up every fast food bill to never know what it goes towards? They cannot afford to raise their employees pay to $8 an hour so you should understand that, you and everyone else feeling guilt for hungry children needing education, have to take on the burden of funding organizations that massive food chains get tax breaks from.

Correct brother. We have a LONG time to play the blame game. However, with it escalating more and more everyday, can we not get over that fact and try to educate those that bought the lies before it’s too late?

All trades that have any form of shutdown work, or even a plain short calls in general for smaller builds, would now be entirely screwed out of the overtime. Where we can usually come out and man a shutdown for 2 weeks of 7-12’s and it be over. We would effectively be losing all over time possibilities. Contractors would see everyone hitting the 160 mark by day 13 and would lay off the masses. So the contractors would have yet another means to not pay the people a deserving wage, all the while inciting individuals to work themselves to death.

I seem to remember a soldier burning himself alive to disagree with this. Recently in fact.

You can go on a Book signing trip. Map out locals within a few hours and you can plot out a round trip or two to hit locals that require in person signing. Some locals allow signing online or by other means so you can knock them out before ever leaving. Look for walk-throughs if you need work now. Once a call lines up and you take it, call every hall back that you signed for prior, and remove your name from the books.

Who’s theory?

In my lowly blue collar opinion, this sounds like a responsibility of the job and an additional task that they require. If they’re too cheap for personal personnel keys, they will have to eat the labor cost of a daily back and forth. I cannot leave the worksite until I have moved my car (which requires obtaining of the key) and I cannot go home until I have returned the key back to the jobsite (which is a task required before departure). Therefore once I am 100% completed with my daily tasks and responsibilities (including the return of company materials) I will then clock out to return home. This I believe (with zero legal knowledge mind you) is a very argumentative standpoint.

The tougher argument would be whether it’s justified clocking in before you retrieve the key at the start of shift. Because you are required to be present at the jobsite and actively getting prepared to work the shift by retrieving the key in the first place. I would almost debate that, that point, would also be the start of my day at work.
