It was a 2 man crew me and this ass who no one like in that company we had a start time at 7:30am and there were times i would get there at 7:35 am and he would write me up for that I was coming from the 1st stop of the E train and i had to leave my house by 6am to get there by 7:30 cause then you had to switch to the 6 train take that to 125 and Lex, then take a bus to Randell's Island. plus with school and stuff it was hard. Now when i started I told the super that I had a Vacation a week in Aug that i had all ready paid for and planed before i got in the union. he said it was OK. Well they tried to use that against me and layed me off in sept. that was bad lay off # 1.

I then was on the Friday night club. Then joined Adco elec and was working at a site down town at 60 wall st. that was going fine till I got real sick in Jan. was out 8 days (went to Er,and even went to the local 3 doctor too) I was also out another 2 days so that was a total of 10 days. the day I went back a Thursday or Friday i went back to work then at 2:15pm they give me a bad lay off. i had just passed 1st year 2nd half elec theory with an 85, and got an B in American Labor history, and a B in OSHA(took another class that sem). I rushed took a cab from the city so i could get to the union hall in time to take the drug test etc, cause 2nd year was starting the next week. If i was on something why would i do all that. It was a false + cause i was taken Codeine for a tooth ache(but it was my moms old script so they wouldn't allow it).

My mistake was not sticking with it doing what they said to do. Which was go to Meetings every Friday night at union hall called MAPS. Hold down a job for at least 6 months. Do an out patient program at my own expense,and then re-apply and they would let me know. I tryed it for 3 months and just was young Stupid and Nieve.

Probably not. The request for applications had to be in by february.

As a side not 7:30 start on the job means boxes open tools in your pocket by that time. I've seen guys be real anal about that. I sense a little more to the story though.

Decided to call - since I didnt hear anything.
Was told I was not accepted for this September Class.
Does that mean next year?Maybe ,Maybe not
But I made other plans so I would be attending classes this year in my second year of college . I am only 18 so I guess I would stay in school

But best of luck to everyone who got in this year and next year since I think the program runs for like 3 years.So wait it out and CALL might as well

Why don't you find out from the people in the family since they had some pull! most likely you won't get called untill next class which could be jan or anywhere from june-sept!

ForzaBari · 10-20-2009, 11:11 PM

yeah that sounds about right as the school starts end of jan..then after that its sept. I'm still waiting and haven't heard. since then I've gone back to school. QCC. I'm taking algebra, wish i could've taken this class last sem, could've helped me in the test!

ForzaBari · 10-20-2009, 11:23 PM

I was informed by my "hook" after he spoke with mr. Shultz that I made the list. But I was told im not towards the top of the list. That maybe I would get called sometime in 2010.. But the way things are looking now Im not going to get my hopes up. By the time I get called Im going to have Journeymen skills.

Let him brag, if his hook was real he'd already be working. As stated, there are no new classes starting in February, and I wouldn't count on September either.
