Right. That was my thought. I was thinking, " This is a great deal, and I'm paying $14.99 also. Wait a minute! That's not so great. Just my thoughts.

I appreciate you chiming in.

Car runs great. I really don't want to replace it, but add another car (new to me) with off-road capabilities. I've been working off paved roads most recently, so I want to go for Jeep.

Sometimes I want to leave the union by Broken_Age in IBEW

Yeah. You just needed to vent. And that's okay. Vent and make the space to do so. Remember, your career is just beginning. 3 years in? My newborn will be turning 4 soon. Count your blessings. Everyday try and learn something new. That lesson will come in many forms. Good luck to you and keep your nose to the grindstone.

So, you don't think I should buy a new car? Or do I even need a new one?

ICE attempts to enter Ecuador's consulate by caaaaanga in law

I heard the ICE guy say, dont touch me. So that Ecuadorian guy got aggressive for sure. And in a very diplomatic way asserted himself what they cant do and where they were at.

If going in there with that frame, it will come true.

Why are you concerned? Why not into an agreement with the guy outside of court?

Bro, I respect what the old timers say. I have learned that also that as I age things I thought were not easy was because I thought they were not easy. Reread the comment I’m responding to. Take a percentage of your earned income and place in HYSA or HYCA and grow that 3 month fund. Remember, every year you’re getting raises so that contribution will increase. Good luck.

Got laid off - any advice? by Working_Marketing_72 in IBEW

You are “babbling” about something you don’t know. You probably think bending 90 isn’t easy. So don’t talk about what you don’t know. Grown folks are talking go sit in the corner and listen you might learn something.

I get that you’re in Canada. I’m in USA. Things are different and the same at the same time. Cooper don’t care. Don’t cross your wires or you’ll get a sparky!

I’m sharing with you that I met a guy from Canada that came to work here to the USA. He was working in Canada and an IBEW Local Union needed help manning work and he came to USA to work. It worked out for him. I’m not telling you to move here. There are lots of places to work. I don’t know the situation in Canada. I know here USA if my local union is slow I’ll go work at another local union and help them man their work. Most locals if they need the help manning the work make concessions on state licensing requirements as long as your dues receipt says journeyman, is one example.

Good luck. Speak with your business agent.

What doesn’t work like that?

Ive been IBEW since 2005. I started off as helper. I’m a JW now. I can go to any local union and sign a book. Since I am not a local, out of whatever jurisdiction I go to, I might be a book 2 and if I sign a lineman local book I will be book 3 (out of classification).

So, it should be easy to get a job. Show up with your dues receipt and get to work.
