Best Answer:
I am I B E W international brother hood of electrical workers. go to any union or phone any union office and ask them, they will know and they will tell you. if you are young you have transferable skills and could consider joining any union. ( course you have to find out their requirements and if and when they are taking new members ) UNION IS GOOD. once when I was an apprentice I took a call as a second year for one month plus. I had just finished working for a contractor that demolished and renovated buildings. previous to that I worked railway section and oil rigs and was young strong and I always worked as fast as I could and was something else with a crowbar and sledgehammer. well as an apprentice I went to this job and to foreman took me to a little out building and he told me this was monday, that he expected me to be finished on thursday but to gut all the electrical stuff out of the building and then we would put new stuff inside. well I asked him do you want me to save this stuff he said no. so I went crazy and had everything gutted and outside in a pile in the afternoon. I started that morning. finished middle afternoon. well he came back brought an fourth year apprentice and said we will run rigid conduit and I said I don't know how. he asked the other apprentice to show me. he watched me play with power threader for a while and then said come with me . he bought me to the lunch trailer and said I am laying you off I asked for a fourth year with rigid conduit experience. he was a liar he asked for no such thing just a second year apprentice. if he had asked for rigid conduit experience I did not have any so the dispatcher would not have let me take the call. well I phoned up the hall and the dispatcher George Katachurian, great man. said come back you don't want to be where you are not wanted anyway, hey and you can't be laid off on your birthday I'm giving you your number back in the books. So for your birthday present a company will lay you off. Of hundreds and thousands of members you union might know your birthday. UNION the best way to go. ( unless your dad owns the company ) ps say JAY why not consider joining the labours union. if I was you I would consider welding or machine operator ( as in tractors heavy equipment ) up north here if you are a welder or heavy equipment operator you can write your own ticket. but Good Luck Good Bye ( p s I personally think it is super important to find a job you like, if you got a secure steady job which you did not like you would not be happen, you have to find something you like to do, there is a song from the fifties I like, something like do what you do do well boy do what you do do well the captain once said get out of bed and do what you do do well. if you find a job you like and find a job not only you can do but a job you excell at and are better than the average bear at you will be happy. I am sure.
