We're at in jersey are you?

Yea politics and money always have a way of making something easy fucked up. One way to think about it is Boeing a huge corporate company if they weren't getting a return on thier money the union would be gone in a heart beat they don't care about protests or news backlash. Thier always has to...

With OSHA and everyone being lawsuit happy safety is the largest part of a job now. You can get thrown off for the dumbest safety violation like taking your safety glasses off when you go take a **** and forgetting to put them back on before u walk out the port a potty

Boeing can always bring in non union employees during a strike, a company around here did that during a strike but settled after a 2 weeks when thier production went way down compared to the people that do the task every day.

I edited my post I don't know if you seen this part Most jobs are a year to up to 10 year projects so you will know months in advance when the lay off is gonna be. The smaller week to month jobs are usually for the apprentices that are lower skill and on a easy peace of equipment like a dirt...

Like I said most of the smaller company's that have quick turn around jobs request apprentices because thier lower pay and usually younger and don't mind a day off here and thier and are still learning and thier willing to work with them threw lesrning.

Not really but a work day is 7-3:30 you can tell them if you can't work weekend or nights night work is a higher pay weekends are overtime so your on a set schedule and if a job is over night you'll know before hand not just sprung on you one day. The union does have a supplemental program they...

You can if you want it's up to you when you put your name back on the list you could wait a week a month when ever u want. When I first got in thier was days I was laid off called on my way home and was back out to work for another company the next day.

I think your thinking of unions in the wrong way labor unions are like hiring halls say you own a construction company and you have anywhere from 5-20 jobs you can't afford to pay people all year round if you don't have work and if u keep hiring and laying people off no one is gonna work for...

Same here if your laid off you can't do none union work if your caught your thrown out but thiers alot of work around here so usually if u get laid off with in a day or 2 your out back working.

They might just be specialist one one type of machine making the same part everyday and that's whats needed from them compared to a Machinist that's trained on multiple pieces of equipment and can make anything. Being union doesn't mean your making more then other people doing the same job it's...

Every unions different I don't know with Boeing if the union was just for Boeing employees or just a Machinist union. Like my union is only heavy equipment operators that's contractors hire as they need but my buddy works for that state government and thier union covers anybody from office...

My buddy does heating and air conditioning for a non union company but on some of the larger jobs they are dual contracted and he ends up working with a company that's union. He makes a killing when that happens because he gets union rate plus what ever the benefits package is paid into his...

It was a small family run company that did in ground pool instillation , land scaping , and fencing. Small company's like that it doesn't make sense to have union employees. We're union helps out is large company's that need slot of skilled employees not smaller company's that have 50...
