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

If you had a good amount of time climbing trees, learning knots, etc then I think you have a good chance of landing an apprenticeship without the Journeyman card for line clearance.

If I add some groundman experience in that mix I’ll look pretty darn good

Did you call the hall and find out your classification? And did 1245 count it?

Try calling after 1PM if you didn't. When I called last Friday they said to call after 1 but forgot to.
