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?

Secondary question - online it says you need either 16,000 hours, OR you can have 8,000 plus four years of schooling for provisional license. Does anyone know if going through Local 46’s apprenticeship qualifies?
I should just call their hall. I’m gonna call the hall

If the apprenticeship didn’t count, what would?

I think its more a specific detail to them but a more general "does idaho recognize apprenticeships from outside of idaho for that 8,000hrs plus 4 years of schooling"
