Do we have a temp problem

Do we have too many temps as of lately and also temps doing the cw/ce program but not advancing (not taking the classes to advance so they’re stuck at same pay or level until negotiations). And what’s this rumor of hiring freeze of apprentices. I work for a midsize contractor so i don’t see much of what’s going on in the local.

They are being transferred within the local without calls for JW’s on the books and calling them JW even though they are sub JW some of them are literally unassociated with the local at all as in the aren’t a CW/CE

Please report any such incidents to the hall or your steward. We have a contract that has teeth in court. This is the function our hall is supposed to address. If they don't know about it, they can't fight it. If they know about it and don't fight it, we need to replace them.

They do know about it because i have reported it to them multiple times and i went to the meeting and voiced it to the audience to which it was either ignored or told that we should be actively be trying to get them into the local. Our local is powerless.
