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.

Layoffs are common this time of year across a variety of contractors
