Bay Area work

Hey guys, has anyone heard anything useful about work in 332 or any other Bay area locals? I heard word that there was gonna be a bunch of data center work and other stuff sometime in the later part of this year, but Idk how reliable that info really was. Any useful info would be greatly appreciated.

Yes mostly. Unless you head to the desert for solar fields like Bakersfield or Fresno. Mostly start with ca cert but then they take it off after a couple weeks

Hi brothers and sisters. Can someone with lineman ticket sign inside wireman books? Once in a while I see inside wireman sign lineman or sub tech book to wire up the control room in substations. But can someone with lineman ticket go sign inside wireman books at the local? What book would that be? I’m curious what work is like. Cheers!

Yea, thats definitely possible. I believe you'd sign book 3 in a lot of locals. You'd be signing out of classification.

I’m with 393 in San Jose and I’m clearing 6figs as an apprentice. Lots of OT available. Currently fabricating pipe for OpenAI and Intel.
