that sucks. when we get laid off, we call the hall that morning and get put on the list. theres probably around 120 or so on our list, which is alot for us. having what, 2000 active members for you, makes your list big. at least its easier to find side work as an electrician then a pipefitter. ever thought of traveling?
and what people dont seem to understand, is when a union member gets laid off, hes not out of a job. we get laid off all the time. you just sit and wait until the hall calls you with another job, and collect unemployment. sometimes long, sometimes short. its not like hes never going to be an electrician again....he just has to wait. one winter i was out for 5 months.....and this summer i had a month off. it ebbs and flows.
