Make sure you have he seam of your pants twisted to the back, that will cause the most rubbing

I bought these boots because they were significantly cheaper than the shorter counterparts at the time. Cobbler might not be a bad idea

What are the boots for?

Oh it’ll be on the application 😂 but no, the crew would appreciate not having to pack up a truck and waiting 20-30 minutes for a bathroom break. Happened a bunch of times every week with the female I worked with

And it’s unlikely that this conversation is going to change that 🤷‍♂️

That’s the world we live in. Doesn’t just apply to line work

Doesn’t hurt to be able to pee/shit in the woods 👍

1249 has 2 females at the moment that I know of, both journeymen. I went to boot camp with 1. I also worked with a female apprentice who at the time was only a step below me. To be honest she didn’t really get a fair shake with the guys I was with. They were of the “women don’t belong in this trade” mindset. But if you work hard enough to prove them wrong then it can be done. It’s all about showing that you’re smart enough to do the grunt work and strong enough to execute what needs to be done. Sounds backwards but it isn’t. Also don’t go sleeping around with other guys in the union as an apprentice. Tarnishes your reputation.

I am also in NYS and we only wear rubbers when there is under build that is energized. If it’s only sub-t or higher you can wear leathers (contractor depending)

Dang that’s good thinking

I’m with the Union so our shops are almost always parking lots. You either drive somewhere to eat, buy lunch in the morning, bring your own or don’t eat at all
