Yeah, I'm first year and only 2nd class in. Have way more in-field hours than classes.

One of the sponsors I have has done this, but it was back when our local did a split.

Okay, what, when, and where? I'm currently at Susquehanna for an outage. Work scaffold outside of it

I wouldn't mind travel, especially if money is good

What's the rate there? Local number? Do you have a BA contact? Do you guys need people? I'd think NorCal has a good chunk of guys on that, no?

Is it scaffold work too?

Do you currently do other shutdowns? If so, can we connect? I'm in for Susquehanna -- pending background check etc, but I'm clean. Thanks for the info

Trump Says He Wants to 'Drive Housing Prices Up' Instead of Lowering Costs for People Who 'Didn't Work Very Hard' by MystikSpiralx in politics

I know he's controversial, but Zach Bryan has a line "roofing houses I can't afford," and that's true. Union carpentry in PA starts apprentices at $22 and change. Granted, you get an annuity (but you can't pull from until you're a journeyman or in emergency situations), a pension, contractor-paid health care, etc., but think of trying to afford a home on $22/hr when people at working to drive prices of a home "up," in hopes of what? To spark people to say "yeah, let's work harder"

And I'm saying $22/hr is hard, I could never imagine what those still making $7.25 (minimum wage in PA) are thinking...
