I've done it and i know of many 442a electricians working in construction right now.Why does inspection allow it if it's illegal?I also see 309a in the auto plants and machine tool maintaining and building the lines.The 309a and 442a take the same school program just write a different test.I was also told the 442a replaced the 309c.One license is no better than the other.The 442a makes more money simply because they work production.In windsor ford ony hires 442a.Chrysler will only hire 309a and GM hires both this i know for a fact and there is no wage difference between the two in the plants or the construction sector.Go to Ontario Job futures and you see that some the job descriptions are the same.
