Where are you located? Willing to travel?
I was in 421 many years ago but not to work locally...because there was none.
421 had one local for two states. I don't know if that has changed or not. It was called a suitcase local...if you stay busy it will be living out of your suitcase.
On a positive note, I work in Fort Bragg a lot and the union is very active there. A very large project has just started in Fort Bragg and the mechanical contractor is a union company from Calif. and will need to man the project. That will keep you busy for a couple of years if you can get on it. If you need contractor names I can get them for you. Outside of Fort Bragg I don't know if they have much work. Good luck with the test and keeping busy.

I have been back down here 7 years and not hardly a peep. There is two sides to every story and am trying to see the big picture.I am going to have to travel eventually and am looking for the best way to feed my family.
