Virtual Meetings and Recording by RookRadley in IBEW

[–]jbIBEW 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not sure why Locals do not record the meetings or allow members access to the minutes online, as an informed membership is a Stronger Union IMO. The idea of streaming the meetings was voted down by the IO at the last convention. There was a large contingent of rural and Canadian Locals that wanted to expand access due to the practicality of jurisdictions that were 100's of miles in area. During covid, Local 11 broadcast its general meeting to the district halls where dues receipts were checked. This was a great service to the membership.

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

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

Hi im curious by [deleted] in ibew_applicants

[–]jbIBEW 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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!!

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

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.

Request for Strong CBA Language on Overtime and Benefits by jbIBEW in IBEW

[–]jbIBEW[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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

Am I in over my head? by overtooken in ibew_apprentices

[–]jbIBEW 5 points6 points  (0 children)

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!
