Larry you speak the truth. We need to be patient and things will get back to normal. Nonunion shops cannot keep undercutting us. They will never make any money. We will prevail, we just have to be patient.

We are supposed to be doing work that we would want to put our name on, (so that everyone knows who did such a good job). So why, if we are doing such good work,and in such beautiful places as in these photos, would we not want to take photos of it?

Clark, I'll give you (or any interested IBEW member) details in private message...not like I don't want to share I just don't get updates to this thread so I won't know if there are follow up questions. I'm one of the instructors of the class in Vegas (#357) and a state licensed PV installer, plus level 1 NABCEP certified, so I'm not going to BS you.

Kenneth, by all means (seriously), feel free to call our JATC about that. We're open to criticism but we need specific input. Or message me about what problems you had with it. Plus, was it the 2-day overview class, or the 7 week installer's class? That definitely makes a difference, as it was tough to cram a 70-hour class into 16 hours. And if ... See Moreyou haven't heard one brother talk about how PV work is lower than what the "showgirls" do, then it's probably because you don't push the PV thing as hard as I do. I hear it at the hall, the JATC, at the contractor's board meetings, at PUC meetings, on various job sites...and I could go on.

International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers Pass this on to friends and family to help protect America's workers.

Sixteen workers are killed a day in the United States because of reckless negligence on the part of their employers. Under existing laws, these employers get a slap on the wrist, or walk away scot-free. Meanwhile, workers who blow the whistle face threats and retaliation at the workplace.

Its getting really bad when I have to rely on the Wall Street Journal to let me know where the global labour disputes are happening. In this "global economy" we should all be concerned about what happens because its our money financing this through the "World Bank"

A new study of Senate voting patterns shows the chamber has approved more than 97% of all bills subject to a cloture motion to begin debate (Roll Call). The Senate's health care reform bill falls into that category.
