These are hard times for everyone, especially the union electrician who finds himself on at the end of a long out of work list at the hiring hall. I've been slowly moving up the list since last September, although I recently worked for 6 weeks out of town. I've thought about doing the same thing you're doing now.
2 questions--what part of the country are you in? I know some areas are REALLY slow, while others, like mine, are just slow. Also, are you going to become a signatory contractor with the local union, and enter into a collective bargaining agreement?
