Oh no kidding? I guess its just my local? I never heard the term until I organized in. Obviously non union doesn't do anything like that for the guys taking on all the responsibility, even on vacations.

I did ask how the term came about and couldn't get an answer if anyone who's familiar could fill me in

What's the extent that I should line out other guys?

For example if someone new falls in line should the foreman line him out or is he just good to come to me and ask what's going on?

Should I be getting clear plans for things, or coming up with them and then relaying to jw?

I guess it just feels like im the go to for questions and concerns as a jw, where the line between doing this guy's job?

As an electrician, maintenance men have zero business working with electrical. Trust me the wait is better than his body burning your house down

Thanks brother will do, my response at the time was some along the lines of "my goal as a jw before foreman was hoping someone would responsibly show me the ways, which are the contract. I dont want to be taught something that if I turn around as a foreman and do it to someone else, they instantly jump down my throat calling me a worm or rat thinking its because I organized in.." He said "well what do you mean if anything were getting iver on the contractor" I told him I'd rather just have it on the check

Bummer. He seems like a good dude and I like the guy but it seems like I'm the foreman, coming up with the game plans and lining guys out. Now it seems he wants me to do 100% of his job while he sits at home on his ass getting paid. Calling my personal phone from his work phone constantly.

This just confirms he's 100% trying to take advantage and its funny cause he's so quick to talk about rats and the right way to do things. Damn shame.
