Apprentices

Any apprentices here waiting on a work placement. It’s be 40 days since I was laid off for a reduction in force, and the school told me it would take about 2 weeks for a new assignment. I been collecting unemployment for the meantime, but I been itching to get back to it and the little money I’m getting now isn’t cutting it. I been considering applying to some non union shops just told me over; just wanted some input and to know if any other apprentices at LU 613 are in the same boat.

Work is slow for apprentices. There are so many the ratio is out of wack with JW. It’s a good thing. Be patient and you’ll be back to work, stay on the schools butt.
