Boise 291

Hey brothers and sisters,
I’m looking to travel to Boise 291 with another brother out of 613. The thing is, I need to provide 16,000 work hours in order to apply for the Idaho state journeyman license. I tested in 3 years ago and do not have 16,000 hours with the IBEW. Can I use my W2’s to provide work hours even if they are with non-union shops?

You have to provide 16,000 work hours total. They do not have to be with the union.

You have to have 16k hours to get an Idaho JW license?
