Hey anyone need a welder

You and me both buddy. I even have a so-called Business Manager who is supposed to find work for me. Nothing but two to three day hits many miles from home. I take them just to keep the health insurance funded but i make no money driving 200 miles for 2 days of work and staying in a room on my own dime. Oh by the way, I'm in the Union. We get no per diem, travel pay etc.

Makes me want to Join ! Seems like here just a few days ago, in another thread, you were shooting your mouth off about how good the Union treated you. Not working out for you anymore ? Those 7-12's are sounding pretty good after all huh ?

Seems admin removed awspartbs response. Probably best. But I read it. Was attempting to collect my thoughts before posting so I wouldn't simply rant in anger. Oh well. I will just suffice to say thank you for painting with a 1000 mile wide brush.

I read it and couldn't figure how it added anything to the forum, so I tossed it out with the trash....my apologies to the poster behind it, I had to delete it to get at the post.
