I appreciate all the advice. I don't mind dirty work at all. I just want to know how the work outlook is for the near future. I have worked many projects with union electricians and telldata and know exactly what the work is like. I also see what some of the workers are like and those are the ones complaining about being laid off alot. I know a few people who are decent electricians and have a good work ethic and haven't been laid off in 10 years. My current job is high stress and alot of after hours stuff. Are all layoffs based on seniority? I thought it was how good of a worker you are.
