Got a link for you in case you run into some issues. DFR document intriguing part is the warehouse union case where union leaders failed to inform the bargaining units of contractor threats during negotiations. www.aaup.org/NR/rdonlyres/522E23C3-FF7E-443C-A843-AE1527B3EBF8/0/DFR.pdf And as far as schools even apply for bonds and grants for schools
Looking to apply a place in SF; and start my training as an apprentice within the month. I hope I'm able to find a copy and learn the ins and outs of a union!
One trick to peeling the bananas. For pateles, cut it on both hands. Put one slice down the back of the banana. Put it in the microwave for 20 seconds. Only and they're ready to bill comes off like butter
UNIONS are undereducated people kicking and screaming like fucking children because they chose the wrong career. YOURE HOLDING HUMAN PROGRESS HOSTAGE SO YOU CAN PISS AWAY YOUR WAGES ON BIGGER TRUCKS
🤣🤣🤣
So Im just thinking out loud, so dont pay any attention to me, but what Im thinking is if the Supreme Court, already stacked against promoting the general welfare, decides that it is fair and just and as God intended to find the nearly century old NLRB "unconstitutional" aka anti worker contractor friendly, then what does that do to all the decisions for its 90 plus year history. will they all be vacated? Will the entire Taft Hartley Act be ruled unconstitutional. Can you have one without the other? A Taft Hartley that regulates labor without the regulator, the NLRB? Will this remove all of the draconian blockades to concerted activities such as strikes, especially strikes? Could this be the path back to pre 1935? Sounds like a deal to me, with the caveat to C-Suiters, insulated and isolated from the social ravages they impose on the working class, "Be careful what you wish for! With the chains broken, we might just be coming for you."
Chevron deferance doctrine allows courts to overthrow a agencies interpretations.. for them to completely overthrow an agency is wild, the right to work foundation funded by many donors like walmart, are also filing against the NLRB for unconstitutional issues.. I hope the chevron doctrine becomes their capability of reason, and congress along with the senate maintains the agency validity for workers across america.. let the billionaires go to the courts and overturn through a profeasionak process vs abolishing the agency... itll give the courts something to do..
Salary never got ot around here, why it's salary
So salary is still salary... good talk. Quck tip, the people in the IBEW could give a shit about salary. We care about our overtime going into our bank accounts. No taxes on overtime and double time would change my life. I work in the IBEW and I can firmly tell you to fuck off.
KAMALA HARRIS 2028!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That pertains to salaried employess not hourly. If youre not salary why go on about it? Plus thats the deal when you sign up for a salaried position. Everyone knows this.
I bring it up because it was a pro worker rule put in place that took effect this year and now it's gone. Of course people know about salaried positions. Our strength comes from solidarity with the working class not our apathy towards them. We all work for a living.
It will start with salaried employees. Next, it will get to people who get paid hourly. I guess you won't care until it happens to you.
No but it could be better and that’s what the union fights for. The workers are losing rights and that’s what this is about
Alright gun advocates you say you need to protect yourselves from enemies foreign and domestic. There it is... Or do you need them to literally come into your home and pull the spoon from your childs mouth? Do something people! I say a one week general workers strike. Everyone everywhere strikes for a week. Remind the people in power where their power comes from.
@@thatoneguy1477 I agree but in order to achieve that we need to organize the working class. This needs be be a grass roots movement before it can be nationally achieved. A lot of working class people don't have class consciousness.
100 percent!
It's too bad you're not capable of understanding what you read 😂.
Explain it then instead of being pedantic
@@S4LtySn4tch He's basically saying it doesn't affect IBEW or regular workers at all, it affects salaried workers so it has nothing to do with the working class whatsoever
Thanks.
It does indeed effect lower compensated salaried workers. Not the ibew. However an injury to one is an injury to all and how long before the policies begin to impact our own households? All good for differences of opinion but we are looking at objective reality and decisions being made tgat have real consequences and our only rebuttal is "sucks for you, I'm not a salaried employee" we would do better showing solidarity so that when they do come for us we have allies in the struggle.
Biden was the most labir friendly president in some time. Now we'll face a guy who hates unions and workers.
Ask and you shall get. Wait until trump guts the flsa. Raise the ot threshold to 14 days and 30 days for sworn staff.
Our toe is just now dipping into the water and is cold. We can imagine how aggressively they will come for the wage earners. I'm sure when they do some people right here will agree that we make too much money and are hurting the country!
How is this going to affect IBEW workers if it's for lower wage managerial/ administrative work?
That old quote about someone coming for them and then eventually when they came for me nobody was left, let's not let that happen. It affects us because this kind of change will reach us soon.
Workers had overtime protections taken away. Many of our members depend on overtime to stay afloat. This decision may not effect ibew directly but it signals intent of the new administration. We already know how trump feels about paying overtime. It's natural to see our own industry being attacked in the near future. Especially if we accept these decisions with out push back.
Exactly!
@@unionminded7918 also I agree there should be push back, but look at what Biden did to the rail workers. It's not political per say, feels like more of a class thing and people need to fight back no matter what the administration is we need to bond on the fact that we're in the same class. I can meet you there. If I said any ignorant shit here know that it wasn't personal and I don't care about politics per se
We have been in a class war. Both parties bought off since the 90's. Business has slowly purchased our government to the point it no longer responds to the needs of the people. Trust me, we see things very similarly. There is no party for the working class, there's a party that signals to unions but governs for owners. That's the reality.
Oh you're going to make the maga fools angry.. They don't understand that tariffs only work when you have industries going against each other, except we don't have the factories that would benefit this so we the Americans just got our taxes increased. And for the people about to scream I have a union job and it doesn't benefit me, read the business news from the 80's and 90's so you can witness how the laws got changed to allow corporations to break up a company and they no longer have a contract with, so many union brother and sisters lost everything back then and worked until they couldn't..
What does this have to do with what he was talking about? 😂
A nuanced point. I think trump supporters will support anything he says. Until they lives are directly impacted in a negative way and even then I'm not so sure they would fault trump. He is amazing at deflection. The new policies will indeed target the destruction of unions. And drive a race towards the bottom at a much faster pace. Sadly, many will sing happy songs on the way down.
@@unionminded7918 I mean this goes for anybody that follows any political figure really, it's kind of set up to fuck everybody and that's the problem. At least that's where I'm coming from... And that's why I prefer the happy songs singing on the way to our impending doom or at least restructuring which is what I think will actually happen
I don't think so but I see your point. I think FDR was a political figure who dominated politics for 20 plus years and governed for the life we carelessly live today. The new deal was a transformative policy. I'm not saying all politicians are bought, but our government has been. I'd argue there is a handful of politicians federally trying their best to fight against a corrupt government. Bernie Sanders is chief among them.
Smh
Me too.
Video starts at 0:50
So nervous, man. I just bought a dress shirt, tie, and boots just for this. My interview is in two weeks and I am already getting the jitters.
Being nervous is normal. Just try and relax. Keep in mind everyone interviewing you was once where you are standing. Good luck!
Great video, as usual. I spent all day today organizing my coworkers. Our union had a reform slate elected about 3-4 years ago, and we are totally transformed: rank&filers, rather than union staff, do the vast majority of the union work, and we are organized AF! Our sister campus, UC San Francisco, is going out on 2-day strike next week, and if the UC bosses don't come back to the bargaining table... Well, they're gonna find out what Solidarity looks like!
I love that! Great on your union for voting out the status quo! I hope to have the same results here at Local 26. Status quo only serves those in charge and leaves the rest raking the yard!
thanks bro
i want a warehouse tho, dis da plan b
ketssssss gooo im 17 ,18 in july, hopefully houston union accepts me easily, my god am i gonna have to prep
Hey man im 18 years old and I want to join an electrician apprenticeship, how do I get started ??
Start by finding out your local IBEW near you. You can google that and visit that local's website. On their website there will be information about the inside wireman apprenticeship. You can apply through the website. You'll need a couple of things to apply. 1- a highschool diploma or equivalent. 2- a passing grade in algebra I. 3- the application fee. That will get you started on the road to a very rewarding career.
Please do a video on "Grievances"
Let it motivate you, not destroy you!!! 💪
Always! Never let a bully get to you!
These videos must be hard to make right now, thanks for plowing through the setbacks.
No problem, they can be. I'm always under threat from small people in offices of power who hate what I do. But screw that the work is too important.
Yes sir, condescendingly get angry, can not take correction without taking offense. Then they get defensive and violate people for their protection.. narrowed it down to lack of confidence and self esteem.
Lack of knowledge and an over inflated ego seem to be the biggest problem also a lack of reading comprehension. But when they are in power you have to deal with these overgrown babies.
@unionminded7918 my mans speaking truth
Brother Pacheco you are on point here. Thank you for Keepin' on Keepin' on. ✊
This fight is ongoing! Thanks! ✊🏽
Trump won 🖕🏻😂🫵🏻
Yes, trump did win.
the democrats the the ultimate cons
That's a fair statement minus the ultimate part, but definitely an understandable position.
IBEW JW, I voted for trump. I don’t think Kamala letting our woke trauma bragging country turn into a new age Sodom and Gomorra is very good for my families health. I’m not okay with the garbage public schools here in Cali will teach my two daughters. So the Biden Harris administration letting 20 million illegal immigrants in from Mexico is supposed to help our market share? I didn’t believe I lie bro I just chose who is gonna protect more what I believe is right for my family. My trust does not lie with my hall or money.
Congratulations! I hope your vision for the future comes true brother.
Thanks for highlighting our action, brother. Solidarity!
Thank you for sharing the story with me! Good luck, solidarity forever!
Aint no strike coming. Dont fear monger. Unions are going RED!!!!
Not fear mongering. This was reported on the 31st of October. Relax bro.
We didn’t have fun the last 4 years we all struggled in some way bad
No we all didn't struggle. The last 4 years have been the best 4 years of my adult life financially.
Congratulations. Hopefully everything you think will happen will come to pass. I have faith in the people! I know my coworkers will be my greatest allies when times get tough so I want to build a strong union!
My interview is tomarrow. I've worked as a resi sparky for years but recently moved to a state with no reciprocity for my license. Hopefully this will expand my electrical horizons... assuming I get in.
Bro you fooled yourself voting for Biden. Made more money when Trump was president and less when Biden took office. Eat crow, W Trump!
I disagree with your assessment but I can't say anything today. Your man won, congratulations.
Agreed. Unions struggled with Dems. First day in office in 2020 and removed 75k union jobs off the get go
Joe should pass the Pro Act so the Union members can see how Trump will just squash it in front of their faces. Also kiss the infrastructure bill and chips act goodbye
I expect nothing from establishment Dems and corporate Dems. They could have passed it a long time ago along with other policies and they made zero effort.
Clearly, Americans need to learn the hard way. Prepare yourself.
TRUMP 2024
Congratulations!
I was working a meat department front counter, too broke to afford next quarter’s tuition at college when an IBEW brother told me to come apply. I don’t know if he could see it on my face or if he just tells everyone to go apply, but he changed the direction of my life from somewhat hopeless to actually having a goal.
Grast way to put it, brother! "You're closer to poor than you are to rich" Solidarity!
Where can we grab a copy I don’t see them listed for sale anywhere ?
Love your videos brother
Thanks, I appreciate you watching!
Good message. Were all in this boat together.
Thanks, absolutely agree!
Picked this book up at bh night in Kokomo. Such a solid read.
Definitely something I’ll have to pick up when I get in. I hope you make a video or two on interesting things you learn from the book!
Needed to hear this, long story short I was going to get out of character when I seen someone again, I guess I was in the right place at the right time to hear this. Thanks brother
Glad I could help! Someone told me those words long ago and I've never forgotten. ✊🏽
TRUMP 2024
Bless your ❤️
Yes sir, there you go 🤘 that's the best tool.. however even if a motion is made on the floor to do so, the residing administration will gaslight you on the floor even the chairman/president into it being a matter of law and cant be done . That is what happened to me.
We get gaslit too. We have to be better informed and come with requests to counter the gaslighting. Talk about Monday morning quarterback. We learn from our mistakes improve our approach and stick the landing. Always remembering that they do nor have all the answers they just act like they do.
