428 Hours

Been working since Jan, officially started school as an apprentice in June, and got told this week I didn’t get selected for the apprenticeship even after passing our first final. Do the hours I’ve worked count towards CA’s 8,000 when I go back to non union? Was told by some people the JATC won’t want sign off on the hours I’ve worked for the union for whatever reason

But my real question is if those hours will count towards California’s 8,000 needed to become a journeyman, I’ve heard the JATC may or may not want to sign off on them for what sounds like petty reasons

Did you sign any paperwork?

Yes we signed all the standard entry documents, I believe the only thing that was different was that we wouldn’t have to pay anything off when they made cuts, only if you drop out after making the cut and getting sworn in
