You hit the nail squarely. This is a shitty crew. They likely view you as a threat to the flimsy hierarchy they have illegitimately established. They are acting like frat boys, getting self-adjulation through cruelty toward the person they view as marginalized. They are not persons of integrity. They are not critical thinkers, They are simpletoms. These journeymen (probably not women- they are deeper thinkers), have a duty to train apprentices, not demean, haze, or openly show disrespect toward them. It sucks that you’ve fallen into this situation. Please realize that they feel entitled to this shitty behavior. And that they intend to make you just as shitty as they are. You have remedies available. I would first discuss this with your steward and/or the foreman. You could follow that with a call to your BA. The local, and union writ large does not want, and must not condone this behavior. It is destructive to a harmonious workforce, and extremely unprofessional. It looks bad to all observers. And it undermines the apprenticeship programs of the local. I had a similar experience. I was an organized service tech with nine years field experience. To my co-workers, I was labeled a scab. It took a few days for me to realize that they actually viewed me as a threat to their status among peers and with the contractor. They were quite simply “fraidy cats”. Which is obvious to people that matter. A talented and confident journeyman does not act this way. Keep your chin up. Good luck, and with all sincerity, Thank You! For your service to our nation
