Are you an apprentice? With Local 41 they dont dangle any meat. If you are on the list and a good worker you will eventually get in a year or 2. I just finished the apprenticeship last year for local 41. I didnt know anyone “in or high up”. I just went down and applied and worked hard for a year and a half and took a couple classes on my own and i got into the program.Local 210 is lazy compared to local 41 and stuck in the old ways ---

Just took the aplitude test, interviewed, and started right away. I’m kinda doing things backwards though. Once I finish this program, I’m testing into the inside program and will continue on. I didn’t have to wait on the list or take any additional courses doing it that way. Unfortunately, the resi program seems to be dying out. I doubt anyone will be able to take the same shortcut I did. Who you working for?? Inside apprentices start at $11.70 an hour. ---
