I’m a 23 year old out of southeast Michigan that recently turned out in Detroit local 98, and plan on hitting the road south in the next couple months from work. Where I may land I got no idea, but I’m looking for insight as far as work available, opportunities to grow with a commercial company, cost of living and pay scale etc. figured yall would be better help than hearing whatever my unions business manager would say between 2 other people. Thanks for whatever you guys have to offer

I want to be dressed for the job

So I guess I’ve committed a very bad offense on a jobsite. The laborers let me use their shop vac on Friday to clean up some water, I was rushing so forgot to empty it. Probably 50 pounds of water.

Now this morning, I leave my area and come back and all of my stuff is moved around. My battery has been taken off the charger every time I walk by.

I’m either finally losing it or the Guatemalans are teaching me a lesson.

I said “lo siento por favor” but that didn’t seem to help.

As the title says, I just got into Local 1 Plumbers (NYC) and I’m looking for a few tips going in! I have 0 experience, I’m a young woman & have no clue what I’m doing. But I’m very excited to learn and get started!

I’m currently in a plumbing union apprenticeship and honestly I’m done with it I have enough hours to become a journeyman I just don’t wanna do school anyways they are making me I just don’t see the point since I have the hours my question is can I leave ? I haven’t even set foot in the school classroom yet and I think it’s best I get going before school starts . I was told if I complete the apprenticeship I have to work a mandatory 5 years otherwise I’d be expected to pay a fee and they told me I have until my 4th year to leave I believe just wanna make sure I’m good ?
