Never really had the luxury of being slow. Was laid off 16 years ago for 2 months but have had 35-50 hour weeks since. Sometimes I wish I had abit more time off esespecially now that I have kids. I keep saying "next year I will take fridays off" but never seems to happen. Slow down here and there would do wonders for my health and mental well being I am sure.

every store or gas station I go to, I look up & see if a lite is off.
I leave my card everywhere.............with clerks to give the manager in the morning.
anything & anywhere..............make the work. it is there. I find it.

I don't believe in picketing. If a man wants to make his living working non-union so be it, I don't endorse any kind of union thugery.

I wouldn't agree. My hall supports side jobs because it takes work away from non-union.

It makes sense dosent it. We're not competing against ourselves. The majority of union shops do big commercial and industrial jobs. The majority of non-union jobs are residential and light commercial jobs. The majority of side jobbers do resi work. The more we can take from non-union the better it is for us.

Why are you posting here?
Seriously - I never understood that - you obviously are not union and don't like unions and this post is in a section of the site devoted to unions so why do the non union folks come in here and **** up every thread?
I mean it would be like me going into the Canadian section of the site and telling those folks over and over again that they put their panels up wrong.
You have to go out of your way to make an ass out of yourself - just wondering why.

There's no such thing as stealing jobs pal because they don't belong to anyone in the first place. The one with the best bid gets the job.

But you left some nice advice...promote promote promote. For the folks who side job that is something they should be doing.
My issue with doing side work is I am not a contractor, don't carry contractor's insurance or bonding etc. If I wanted to be a contractor, I would be one and do all those things.

Nothing against unions u cant make that call. You dont know me. This jackass said sidejob like crazy as a response which is something i dont agree with. It was only a matter of time til u came here supporting unions. Any idiot here for a day knew youd come in full armor. Im as much a part of this forum as you are and i can post wherever i wanteejack said:
