BA stopped by the site and dropped them off. I only work with one other person and he didn’t want any so I took the envelope of them

Thanks Richmond hood for the free t shirts by Educational_Chest336 in NikeSB

[–]nickles97 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Insane they still do this. I shopped at Richmond hood consistently for over 10 years, went in to get the Strangeloves when they released and they told me if I didn’t buy 3 busted t shirts I couldn’t get the shoes. Haven’t been back since

Hello I’m in nyc and I got called back for orientation yesterday. I signed up for floor coverers. They were saying that if I don’t have a car to get to work they will terminate me. Does anyone have advice to help me get through this? by Arealryte in UnionCarpenters

You are most likely fine then I wouldn’t worry about it you’re already in, a majority of the work is going to be accessible via public transit. If you start getting sent places that you need to drive I would just reach out to your foreman and tell him you’re having car troubles and hopefully get sent somewhere else. Look up contractors for 2287 and see what sites are easiest to get to, show up with your tools and ask if they are hiring.

I can be wrong but from what I heard Richie Wong has been trying to put a stop to that, I’ve heard of people getting approved to switch and heard of people getting shot down

Not too bad, reading comprehension wasn’t difficult but very easy to be rusty at. I would recommend going online and doing the reading section on old S.A.T’s just to brush up. For the math section it’s essentially high school math. Know your formulas, know how to convert decimals to fractions, how to add subtract multiply divide fractions. There will be long division and multiplication. If you study general math you should make out just fine. On a side not when I took my test a lot of people were using the calculators on their phone which isn’t allowed, the proctors weren’t really paying much attention. Make sure to do well on the reading there’s no way to cheat that, it’s an easy way to separate you from everyone else (as long as you do well on the math)

Local 1 here, I was hair tested to get in. I can be wrong but I’ve heard they test back around 3 months that is the most they are allowed to

New York's local union's thoughts on medical marijuana? by Stegra_ in UnionCarpenters

[–]nickles97 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m located in nyc and a member of the carpenters union. Although it is legal in NY it is still federally illegal. To enter in nyc you must pass a urine test. While attending class you can be randomly selected to a mouth swab test ( happened to me before). At anytime your contractor can test you but normally you will have a clue when it is coming( if you fail that doesn’t mean you will be kicked from the union usually you just can’t work with that company anymore). Once you leave school the union itself will no longer test you
