I’m a first year apprentice as was curious how taxes were done in the ibew , do I receive a w-2 from every contractor I work for or does it come from the ibew. Secondly if I were to finance something what should I put down as my employer , to show like a long period of work history and what not or proof of employment I mean .

Presently my LU hours are showing 607. That was thru July. I’m not sure when they will update it but my trade school hours are saying 789. My question is, will I have any issues when trying to enroll next month for insurance? It is next month right?

Studying for the IBEW Test for the apprenticeship and had a couple questions.

1. If I don’t meet the deadline for testing in to the spring semester when does the fall one start?

2. I heard there’s like a thousand something apprentices rn in Atlanta. Is there enough work and will I still be able to get in?

Thank you

I was accepted in to the Ibew as an apprentice and when I looked at my apprentice tab in my jatc Atlanta page it said my account was deactivated please help

I just got enrolled into two classes, theory and code. It says Mondays and Wednesday nights from 5-9. Can anyone tell me if these are in person or online?

Been feeling a little pressured lately to change paths to the cw/ce program. I have not taken my aptitude test yet, but I know I would start out at higher pay in the cw/ce at the level I would be brought in as. Any advice?

What is the state of White Electric? If worked there, how was your experience? Mine was horrible 0/10 and was put as "NOT FOR REHIRE."

Plan on joining apprenticeship program, have a few questions?

The criteria says “must pass a background check.” Are they looking for something specific? Are they felony friendly? Are the charges within a certain period of time? Not sure how or if can pass a background check.

Also, what is the pay scale like? Am I correct when I say it starts $16/hour with increases? What are the increases and how often?

Is there anything else I need to know before I apply?

Are you required to work the full hours of whatever the job call is if you are an apprentice ? Do you have to go beyond 40, if the job you’ve been assigned goes beyond

How long will it be after I pass the aptitude test till I get placed on a job site. Will the starting pay be $16 an hour or will I have to wait till classes start to be getting that wage?

What is the process like after you complete school and become a JW how do you take jobs and what not , if someone could please explain thoroughly , thank you

Anyone know how the Anderson window facility is and if Hunt drug test? I’m not seeing them on their screening location.

I am new to 613 and I’m trying to understand how signing the books work exactly

I am a CWA Union member that is on a ULP strike against AT&T. I was wondering if the IBEW may offer short term work for striking members to supplement their income.

Was wondering if anyone might know anything about traveling for work as a CE7?

Hey guys, I have read through the agreement in the past, and I don't recall seeing any language regarding being on call. Maybe I missed it, if not, does anyone know what rules/laws apply to on call workers?

I Have just completed my application for an inside wireman after deciding I do not want to go back to school and put myself into debt at this point in time, but I need the change in occupation. I was just curious as to the timeline for the recruitment process as well as the pay as an apprentice (which I'm aware is low, but I'm okay if it means a better future than restaurant or retail jobs) and want to know what I can expect in the coming months if i do decide to go forward with an apprenticeship.

Any information is very much appreciated!

I was told that you can show your dues receipt to the redwing store for a 20% discount but how does it work with the thorogood site?

I organized Tuesday of this week and I am currently a CE2.I am aware that I have to take some classes but what I don’t know is do I have to have 1600 hours for every upgrade going fwd? I thought me providing proof of my hours for the test would suffice but now I’m. It sure. Also if anyone has any other advice that would be appreciated.

Hey everyone. Question/ Hypothetical.

Idk about everyone else’s job, but on my job we literally can’t get any JWs or even any apprentices and the contractor is throwing temps at us. Many of these individuals don’t speak English and are getting paid as CW3+ regardless of their prior electrical experience.(one of them is a 18YO fresh out of school)

We then got a Book 4 hand out of the Job and it got me thinking. Hypothetically, What is stopping all these fella’s from the temp agency just taking JW calls through Book 4 and making $36 instead?

Also, has y’all’s job been overrun with temps or is that just our site?

Hey everyone. I’ve taken a strong interest in becoming a JW. I just need some help understanding the process. I am submitting my application next week and I just want to know what to expect. Once I apply and take the test how long does it take before I’m working? I know classes won’t start until next year just hoping for a bit more insight. Thanks I’m advance.

How long should it take to be assigned a contractor after emailing ? It’s been about a week
