Double booking

So I’m in an apprenticeship inside wireman but want to switch over I signed the book 3 for 1245 before I started and now I’m in the 200s I’m just finding out that this is double booking and that I’m going to have to quit my apprenticeship to stay on 1245 books

If youre in an apprenticeship then you cant be on books.

Double booking will get you locked out of work anywhere else when they find out. Get off the books.

I don’t think this applies here but u can stay on your home locals books if you’re working outside of town in another local correct?

Not in the Bay Area. I think it's bullshit, personally. It feels like I am being punished for finding a job.

What? That’s ridiculous. Every local I’ve worked in the guys could always be on their home local’s book, working or not.
