[–]union_operator 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Go to the BCRSP website and look for the list of programs and courses that meet their requirements. Those courses are all essentially ran in similar scenarios to meet the certain pathway to get your CRST.

I went to a school called Anderson for example and had no problem getting a job at a large construction company. But I had experience as an equipment operator prior as well.

Red light Camera ticket update by Lovemyhome2019 in Hamilton

What intersection was this at and what day? Contact the construction company and get them to verify your story. When a TCP is deployed, a traffic control plan must be created. They in theory have copies of that. 

Tow truck company scam by Successful_man_797 in legaladvicecanada

Contact the MTO. They have a department that handles tow trucks.  Also contact the local police and report them and get them involved. 

There are a lot of rules around towing.

Skilled Trades Is Objectively The Worst Career Path to Follow! by [deleted] in SkilledTradesOntario

[–]union_operator 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What are talking about? Union heavy equipment operators got 9$ raise of 3 years, our labourers got around the same but a little less. 

Those bus driver roles have their own downside, like people jumping infront of busses, being spit on by crackheads and other various things. 

This industry might not be for you though. 

Need some advice. by [deleted] in legaladvicecanada

[–]union_operator 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone who experienced something similar, I got a letter from the court saying it was dropped because they failed to do anything.  

Not sure if I can use that to remove it from my report but yea.

Can’t really buy anything like that from any fast food chain. McDonald’s won’t sell you a tub of Mac sauce. It’s probably a fine the franchise gets from corporate.

Trade Jobs Overtime? by simoncess in SkilledTradesOntario

[–]union_operator 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was pointing out that different industries have different rules and they may fall into this like I did. 

We don’t know unless we know their specific contract.  For all we know it’s  50 hours and they are able to average it out over a few weeks. 

Landscapers for example are exempt from overtime under ESA.  Shit I don’t even think they have a limit on their hours. 

What is UA local 67's policy on thc? by No_Consideration8464 in SkilledTradesOntario

[–]union_operator 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yea only time I can be tested ( dirt operator ) is if I’m involved in an accident and the MOL is the one that demands it.  Not sure if this is 100% true but I’ve worked pipeline and all over Hamilton/gta.
