When the local hall closed and merged with another far out of town, I'm sure that local's members did NOT move along with the hall. The hall is gone but the local manpower is still there.

The OP is putting a lot out there, which I appreciate, but I think there's something he's not telling us. I state this knowing that the International often closes halls and merges locals because the local charter is not doing an effective job of organizing. (If there weren't any financial impropiroties)

There is only one reason, even in Texas, (or any other State, RTW or not) why a good contractor can't attract good help, union or not. And that is the compensation offered isn't enough.

There is nothing that I am not telling you, I am being as honest as I can be, because I really need to find an answer to this and not telling everything would defeat getting the true answers that I need.

Hey BDB,

If you can't get the answer you want from the hall in your neighborhood, you can write or call the international or at least find the regional representative to you area. Explain the problem tho them and perhaps they can ruffle the locals feathers and help get you some manpower

I live about 250 miles from from the hall. We have a "northern division", about six of us attend the monthly meetings with a video link. It works fine and keeps us involved with the hall.
