I am not against rewire - he is an A#1 nut job but I still think he is a good addition to our group.

Don't you mean trigonometry? As in, 'Simple pipe bending is all trigonometry'.

To me, a qualified electrician is one who has had the training, the schooling , and the experience to do the job safely and correctly. If you really know what you are doing but don't have the credentials, maybe you could talk to a contractor and see if he will let you work under somebody until you prove yourself. That is what I would do...if I needed to feed my family.

Uneducate Members
I remember working there in 130 and there was a guy who was obviously so dumb that people actually felt sorry for the guy I guess. It was painfully obvious this never graduated elementary school, yet he was getting JW pay and bennies. He didn't get it no matter how many times he was taught, the guy just could not comprehend what was going on. After Katrina, the local had an open door policy and dues to get in were $2. As long as you could walk you got a yellow ticket. It was shameful for this guy to be a member, yet he was. Now, that's just one guy I knew. How many more of these types are taking up space on job sites while real electricians are starving at home with families to feed?

I have a friend who has an eighth grade education that holds a yellow card for local 130. He just got picked up by Fisk. I would not let him ring out my doghouse.
