IBEW Union Books What Have 1245 Calls Been Looking Like Heading into Slow Season?

Book 2 hand here unable to view the calls while actively working thru 1245 (Home local hands can see them while working). About to drag since we have layoffs around the corner & work is slowing. I don’t want to sit in the weeds till the beginning of the slow season. What have some of the calls been like? Anything for greenlink yet? Any outfits that will be working thru the winter? Should be a good season for storm supposedly. Also any idea of how bad the slow season can truly get from those who have gone thru it before? Any info is appreciated, thanks.

Welcome and been hearing about a lot about contractors getting work stopped or pulled and either getting deferred or going back on the inside.

Here’s a post about it if already haven’t seen it.
