You guys busy up there? A couple apprentices I know down here would love to make a run up there and work for a season or two. We can only work up there if all the apprentices in your area are out to work, only fair, but it would be an exeperience nonetheless. I'm happy where I'm at as long as the company I'm with keeps me busy, I like the crew I'm on and would like to stay where I'm at.
It does not matter because it's not really any of my concern whether anyone on this board has a union book or not. I am not here to organize or preach to anybody. I enjoy this forum because I can learn about equipment that I might not see around here. I just don't think we need to make personal attacks on each others character, that's all.I wonder how These overall pro union people feel about the stats above showing the union membership on this server being the lowest of the three categories?

That is the pot calling the kettle black. Bump
Credibility w/ you is certainly not my concern or worry here. Once upon a time you asked a set of questions and I answered them.I do not expect or have a desire for you to understand what it is I said. I was presented w/ a situation to better my Family out of respect and I took it.Open mouthed,close minded people like you are what puts this Forum in danger of peoples' points of view being misconstrued.I work to live not live to work.I always have and always will do what is the best for my Family regardless of what fallout may come about.Doug you changed your story so many times you have no credibility with me.
Personal attacks of any kind on other members will not be tolerated. While disagreements will arise, they must be handled in a mature manner.
Just joined up with IUOE Local 302 as an entry level apprentice. Looking forward to working on some bigger jobs running some bigger iron.
I think I feel the need to make the statement that unions vary depending on location. Out here in WA, all state work is done by union contractors, the non-union boys can't even bid on it due to legislative measures regarding apprentice hiring.
