ReplyDeletefind another career.....
ReplyDeleteI have been in this biz for almost 20 years. Even though I work fairly steady, the unemployment is way to high.
I was one of the lottery winners for 2013.I had put in for it in 2010 floorcoverer.ni have to attend orientation.Now does that im considered an apprentice.
ReplyDeleteStay away from this union better off with another career. you waste more money on two different bills membership and you pay to get your vacation check. There is no mork now. Its the month of July 2013, I have been out of work for nearly 2 months now no calls, updates nothing at all. To many rules, you get no dental or eyewear insurance, and the people you work with are really really full of themselves. If I was you I highly highly suggest going into another business. They say in your first three years of working you gonna work all the time with no problem, thats a load of b.s.
ReplyDeleteok, so you work for a month every day as apprentice, do all overtime requested during the week, work Saturdays.. then, you oversleep for 1/2 hour and get to first day of class 10 minutes late and get kicked out of union? how does that happen? is that even legal?
ReplyDeleteabsolutely heartbreaking...
