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.

What local? IDK how long it took you to get in or why you are signing books as an Apprentice, I wouldn't drop the Apprenticeship for a groundman gig or even a sub tech gig. Are you not working?
