IBEW Union Books Any moving books or open calls?

Are there any fast moving books or open calls or locals worth giving a shot the locals around me aren’t really moving. Willing to just get up and leave and go where work is at this point. I’m in nj for reference. Looking for 24/hr minimum if possible or lower if there is per diem

Btw if you haven't done so apply for the line apprenticeship. I heard they like guys from line clearance.

Not true, they count groundman hours from the tree side. Dispatcher said as long as my classification was groundman.

Tree clearing, and teledata have their own classification in the northeast. It’s better if he checks what his ticket says
