this…go get in the union too…union is the shit…if i could go back i would have went union (still trying to get in)…starting pay for a green helper is like 12$ an hr…1 day of school a week for 10 months…after your first 6 months you get a raise then every year after you get a raise…

if you need a phone # i have a friend that you could talk to and get a feel for what the union is about…as far as lay-offs go, well, anyone could be laid off at any time in this economy, yah know? you take work as you can get it weather its 6 months of 6 years.
