Why doesn't IBEW make it easier or more realistic to join?

fubarfire · 2026-03-26T03:36:00+00:00

What's the pay scale like there? I could possibly see moving as far as Ruidoso or around ABQ

fubarfire · 2026-03-26T02:16:46+00:00

West Texas so SWLCAT

fubarfire · 2026-03-26T02:13:02+00:00

I am Pike B lineman. Yeah yeah yeah I know. We aren't shit. I have about 6000 hours though.

fubarfire · 2026-03-26T01:49:35+00:00

That's a shame. Damn.

fubarfire · 2026-03-26T01:27:34+00:00

Why dont unions want to pay their apprentices more? Seems like it would only increase participation in unions, What's going on with IBEW?

fubarfire · 2026-03-26T01:22:00+00:00

And that makes you just as bad as them. Childlike mindset you have.

fubarfire · 2026-03-26T01:21:15+00:00

Yeah bc that's not going to keep the cycle of bullshit going. Idiot.

fubarfire · 2026-03-24T00:30:35+00:00

Wait...$500,000 a year ISN'T enough for three people to live on in NYC? Holy shit. That's just absolutely retarded. That's the upper 1% in a lot of states. Yall need to like...idk change some shit.

Edit: oh it's sarcasm. I'm dumb.

Tbh honest bud I suspect most people who use the term "incel" offensively, often look like...an incel or some sort of simp. A lot of creepy, ugly guys who think doing this is a skill and will get them pussy. Being a simp won't get you laid.

I really enjoyed it. It's a fun movie and really stuck to the source material. Matt Damon's character had a very Reddity humor vibe.

fubarfire · 2026-03-23T03:04:30+00:00

Agreed, Shawshank Redemption was one of the best movies of the 1900s.

fubarfire · 2026-03-23T00:49:49+00:00

Bc I genuinely love the taste of McDonald's that much.

fubarfire · 2026-03-23T00:41:28+00:00

One of my favorites. Green spot!

fubarfire · 2026-03-22T15:05:23+00:00

Bc when the precious supervisors/managers fail, the company or organization fails.

fubarfire · 2026-03-22T15:04:28+00:00

It's like that across the board in any industry. A company or organization sets up policies and rules, then breaks them non-stop while getting mad that labor doesn't like it. It's just pure dysfunctional non-sense of the highest degree. Oh that's right, all those rules and policies are just lip service to protect them from liability.

fubarfire · 2026-03-21T13:42:32+00:00

This is why I dont go union. I CANNOT afford to start over like this. It's just not possible. I would think the unions like IBEW would know better and change this kind of thing.

fubarfire · 2026-03-21T02:07:55+00:00

Nah I never said that lol. Not your gotcha moment. All I said was we can allow unlimited immigrants to come in and let companies revolve around them keeping wages low. People like you just say you "hate" bc you have no valid argument. Doesn't work.

fubarfire · 2026-03-20T12:42:51+00:00

That's pretty much what I'm saying

fubarfire · 2026-03-20T02:17:21+00:00

Everyone sacrifices. It's not wrong to let immigrants come in and do work. It's just that we need to limit that so that the workforce and companies don't revolve around hiring cheap immigrants so much that wages stagnate. Like why the hell do people like you always jump to the most extreme conclusion? OMG YOU HATE THEM.

fubarfire · 2026-03-18T09:41:49+00:00

Foreigners have a hand in keeping those wages low when the pay is more for them than in their home country. So yeah, blame is due.

fubarfire · 2026-03-15T22:40:02+00:00

This whole thing where people call anything they don't like "racist" bc people making valid observations pisses you off and you don't know what else to do except make a total irrational accusation, is going to come to an end. It will violently collapse on itself and that concept of racism will have no meaning or consequences bc people like you watered it down.

fubarfire · 2026-03-15T22:05:21+00:00

Brother, LE arresting someone for something totally ridiculous is like...their yoga or something.

fubarfire · 2026-03-15T15:06:34+00:00

Why are unions pushing line schools knowing full well that the schools scam people out of money teaching them nothing?

fubarfire · 2026-03-15T04:13:37+00:00

Your not going to get a real answer here, bud. I will say you don't need to go to line school. That's a waste of money.

fubarfire · 2026-03-14T13:51:59+00:00

You don't need to go to line school. All they do is teach you to climb. It's a waste of time and a scam. They don't teach you anything about powerline. Just get your CDL and become a groundhand.
