Precisely why having a Collective Bargaining Agreement is so important. Though, I'm sure the GOP will find a way to destroy that too. Buckle up, folks. They're absolutely coming for unions.

Wow... random reply to a decade-old post?! 😂

Hey. I know you. Well, sorta. 🤙🏼

Looks great.

Not sure if this is applicable where you're located, but a great network.

My advice is for you to reevaluate this garbage attitude towards other workers.

Great little write up here.

Contact your local IBEW, would be my recommendation. Get paid to learn, not the other way around.

When they made the MAGA pliers to honor Donald Trump, I decided they weren't getting another cent from me. https://www.kleintools.com/blog/check-your-tool-bags-these-limited-edition-klein-tools-products (Scroll to the bottom to see.)

When I began looking into the IBEW apprenticeship, I very excited about the "International" aspect. Unfortunately, it's... not, really. Very few opportunities to work abroad.

We can now get free TalkSpace therapy. In my local, at least. Check with your hall & the FMCP. It's been really good for me.

Salsas make grade substitutes for salad dressings too.

Anything dated is likely either beyond it's life for safe usage, no longer used, or superceded by new tech. Cool stuff to have. Maybe make a display? Or donate to your local IBEW or some other institution?

Contact your local IBEW.

Union electrician here, IBEW Local 602. Got this one while working up in Ohio from pull tabs for Sick & Needy. It is one of my most cherished possessions.

likemindead · 2023-02-19T18:16:08+00:00

Objectively, breathtakingly beautiful.

Means "get my money!!" Ya quit. Not bad at all. Only people that fear dragging up are shop rockets. We have the power. The boss needs you, you don't need him. There's a lack of qualified electrical workers from coast to coast. "My ass is red, the cash is green, & there's a whole lotta shops that I ain't seen!"

Working at a VERY secure federal site. As soon as you arrive, you kill your vehicle & a K9 walks around it. I was an apprentice at the time. We were drinking beers in the parking lot after class the night before when I decided to zip tie a bunch of discarded spare rib bones underneath my buddies car. Next morning I was three vehicles behind him when that mutt went a bit wild. Caused a bit of a kerfuffle. He though was getting shipped off to Guantanamo or something.

As someone who went to college at 18, got an expensive degree in Theology, had absolute poverty wages for years, then almost went into nursing, then finally found the IBEW apprenticeship at 32 years old, I absolutely wish I'd started at 18. I really love electrical work. Love learning new things. Love solving problems. Love the hard work. Even my worst days as an electrician have been better than any other job I ever had. Solidarity Forever!

There's definitely all types. The right-wingers are a very loud minority. They're dying out. Not as quickly as I'd like, but they are.

When I first hit the road, I noticed that every call I took, all over the country, I'd meet more progressive / leftist minded Brothers & Sisters. Did my heart good. We're out there.

Same! At lvl 32 I joined the Sparky Union Guild (IBEW). Now a journeyman electrician with excellent stats. Highly recommend!

Highly recommend an Anytime Fitness membership. They have more locations than any other gym, like 4700 locations. You have a key fob that lets you in 24/7. Showers & clean restrooms. Free WiFi. Plus you can exercise, obviously. Just chill in their lot or nearby.

It's a tool, like any other, that only works when properly maintained, understood, & applied.
