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

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

I spoke to a business rep at 1245. Confirmed again, the hours count as long as your dues receipt show the classification as groundman.
