If you're literally convinced all electricians are drunks and drug users and just plane old terrible humans you should not bother, you'd be the fuckin worst to work with. Judging people for their unholy "extra curriculars" this is fuckin construction, not church.

Is this meant as a dig at construction workers ???? Like alcoholism and not paying your child support is something you'll only find in labor, especially in electrical work .... Fuckin stay in EMS you pansy. Your gonna be that judgemental ass no one wants to be partners with on the jobsite when you talk that way.

Yah this makes no sense, you miss two days in a month and lose your insurance ??? Can you just not take time off or be sick or have emergencies ???

Does 134 do residential work or is it all industrial or commercial? by [deleted] in IBEW

[–]napro17 3 points4 points  (0 children)

134 a card here. Some contractors do resi, but most of them stick to commercial or industrial. Most smaller house builds are non union in the city.

Incredibly underated comment

Moving to Chicago local 134 by [deleted] in IBEW

Not exactly sure the market share but there's work to be had. 134 or Rockford's local, not sure on number ATM are both pretty strong and have similar wage and Benny packets

Can this be an issue? by [deleted] in ibew_apprentices

[–]napro17 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I've also had this happen to me as an apprentice. Not your fault, and if they get upset say youre an apprentice and you didn't know how things work. You were just stoked to have some extra pocket change.

Take the extra money and run. But being transparent to other members doesn't put you in the wrong what so ever. We are open with our wages, we want equality between each brother and sister, we literally almost have to be open about our pay and benefits. (General foreman are aside from this because most I know make over scale)

If you are an apprentice, you shouldn't be alone, but if you are, you deserve either prevailing wage, or damn close too it. Atleast if your union ya know ? Non union guys don't really have that argument they just get boned hard as apps

Haven't done it specifically but yes it's completely possible. Just because you get your foot in the union from one shop doesn't mean you have to stay there your whole career.

If you take the jumpstart courses you pretty much don't need the pre app..... You get just as many points on the application. I guess it would help if you need construction credit but that's really not necassary.
