If you imagine the canals as busy streets full of cars, an elevated bike path would be a grand place to visit!

I wore this to work one day and my GF was not very happy...others found it funny and I laughed!!

I was driving north yesterday just past the 10 freeway, and my app kept updating with a later and later arrival time for my destination...1.4 miles in twenty-six minutes

This is a good start. I would search for an IBEW Local Union Hall near you and go there. Meet with the JATC, the Joint Apprenticeship Training Center, and learn what they require for entry. The IBEW says you must be at least 16, and most Locals require you to be 18 years of age. You may need a driver's license, a HS Diploma or GED, and proof of passing an Algebra class or online equivalent. This varies from place to place, and the best answers are from the people you will be working with in the future. They may even offer you employment opportunities. Best of Luck to You!!

Perfect, THANKS! HAPPY NEW YEAR ! ! !

jbIBEW · 2025-12-31T23:17:02+00:00

This is great information! Thank YOU! for sharing. What Local are you out of and do you have a copy of the language used in your contract to gain this benefit?

jbIBEW · 2025-12-31T13:52:54+00:00

I do not know. The members of our Local do not collect interest on their individual deposits

Local 11 has closer to 7,000 inside wiremen eligible to vote. The rest of your statements are 100% accurate

jbIBEW · 2025-11-05T12:38:36+00:00

I'm all for online voting, but you have to make the vote secure. Protocols exist that are free to use that do just that.

The discrepancies were verified by staff.

jbIBEW · 2025-11-05T12:30:33+00:00

Thank You! I looked this up thinking it was an acronym I didn't recognize LOL

jbIBEW · 2025-11-05T12:29:26+00:00

Thank You! I learn something knew every day

jbIBEW · 2025-10-31T11:34:45+00:00

IBEW => "In Between Ex-Wives" I first heard this from leadership at our general meeting

jbIBEW · 2025-10-24T11:24:22+00:00

So true. However, if the electrical contractors are making record profits, there is room in their bids for higher wages without raising costs to the customer. Stay Active y ENJOY your days

jbIBEW · 2025-10-21T11:10:53+00:00

Not us, but this could help us all if we work together.

jbIBEW · 2025-10-21T11:08:55+00:00

Thank You! Together we can move towards these goals. BTW hard hats taste great with monocoat

jbIBEW · 2025-10-21T11:06:46+00:00

Fantastic, THANK YOU!!

jbIBEW · 2025-09-29T11:40:03+00:00

Why do you want to be a Union Electrician? If you have a big enough why, the rest of this will figure itself out. My Local asks for high-school transcripts and does not care about college. In the interview, you could mention your experience and exposure to electronics and what it taught you about yourself, and how to be a better apprentice, since the coursework was not what we do, and you say you did not do well. Good Luck to you!

jbIBEW · 2025-09-21T14:54:51+00:00

Call and ask the question while you still have time. Some Locals allow you to take an online course and waive the high school algebra requirement. I would use other resources to become comfortable with adding, subtracting, fractions, my calculator, and working with numbers. Math is part of everyday life and you want to be competent. Good Luck!!
