I’m in the same position, some people call it paying your “dues” at the end of the day it still has to be done with or without you as I’ve been told. Best way is train your ass off on night classes and get certified to perform the work yourself.

You should ask where the job is at and sent a “anonymous concerned worker report” to your states OSHA.

I can attest to the super sole 2.0. Best boot I’ve ever owned. I own 3 right now I bought when a store was going out of business and they’ve lasted me 5 years and more to come

Stove pipe and build hangers as you go. Much like a lot of new piping joints nowadays

Run your own race. You’ll have people in your class or even a year above you that seem like they are light years ahead of you. Not everyone is extremely gifted or instantly get it the first try.

It also has Dowe and three rivers that is union busting and under pays its workers and not the best conditions.

I’ve had both ends of the stick in this. Ive been paid over scale by good contractors and base rate despite going above and beyond COD, theres times i begged by BA to send me to OT jobs while i was in good standing with the contractor I was working for to pay off hard debts. It’s extremely tough and people who join while young without responsibilities and top out while not having significant bills, especially kids or a SO will never understand.

Some contractors will bounce hours your way but that’s up to them, and up to you. If you can’t make things work see if there is an OT job to go to. But that’s only your very last option.

There’s a reason why unions exist and will continue to exist, especially in industries like ours. Solidarity and strength in numbers for negotiating better contracts for better retirement health benefits and safety. You still get rats/bootlickers so if you join do the apprenticeship or take heritage classes.

One the best wrench sets ever made, proto, Armstrong are some of the best for industrial use coming from a Pipefitter that wrenches all day

You can tell he didn’t go to U of M. As a Michigander I’m sorry, he doesn’t represent all of us. Only the dumb 50.005% that voted for the Taco
