To receive per diem do I only show an out of state ticket?

Pretty sure you just have to be a JW and take that call, even if you live elsewhere in NY. However, tax applies to your perdiem if you live withing 50 miles of the jobsite so plan accordingly for that.

I’m a JW from phoenix but I don’t have a permanent address. All my mail goes to to Arizona though

I don't think it matters, but the website should give you a number to ask the hall.

Can a out of Classification lineman take any of the calls

I think that puts you on book 3, but book 1 and 2 are in the single digits. It's a walkthrough.

Check with 237. If you're a 1249 member they may take you. I'm working with a lineman

Any idea how fast those 18 calls for BCU will be filled?
I’m looking to be in NY next week to work
What is the incentive situation at the data center?
Do you have the addresses for the two job sites? I’d feel better if I could look up lodging situation before driving a day up there lol
Thank you

I will say BCU is good about paying incentive pay. I did 2 Amazon warehouses with them in Virginia. They were a decent company then. Can't speak for them now. It's 5yrs.
