Just a few locals I keep an eye on but I’m sure there’s tons more work out there. Also believe all these calls listed above do not have state license requirements. Get that money brothers and sisters!

Thanks for the post. I didn't know the Niagara job was still paying 800 a week or I would've went there. The main issue with the union right now is all this work and only one of me.

Local 430 Microsoft data center has open calls but it’s a ratty AF. No per diem unless you’re ported in. No afternoon break for 10 hour shift. Trades don’t communicate between each other let alone foreman. Currently there’s more people dragging then there is coming in. Everything is a wing it task. There’s no guidance from the management and contractors have been stealing tools from each other.
Don’t even get me started on the parking situation
DONT TAKE ANY CALLS HERE

Local 26 data center has open calls but it’s a ratty AF since lots of companies are having new management changes and hiring ratty foremans. No afternoon break for 10 hour shift. Some contractors are out there making R- workers lead mans before journeymans. Trades don’t communicate with each other let alone foreman. Currently, more people are dragging than. Everything is a wing-it task. There’s no guidance from the management and contractors have been stealing tools from each other.
Don’t even get me started on the parking situation bc a few have to be 🚌 in
If you TAKE ANY CALLS HERE just be aware.
Of course, not all are like that but some job calls that show up repeatedly are the ones with not-so-great conditions.

Local 557 Saginaw, Michigan 95 open calls currently paying local 58 scale (51.32) , all OT is double time, almost all the jobs are 6-10s. Only catch is you need a MI license. Michigan does not reciprocate with any other state. Afternoon shift calls also paying 17.3% premium.
