Question for 1102 Detroit side members
throw away as i don't want this linked to my main account,
does anyone have an actual serious reason of why our apprentices cant solicit our own work? the best I've heard from people is "we have the most diverse work so we want our millwrights trained as such" which i can understand but also, if your having people laid off for 1-2 months at a time and only working shutdowns intermittently, people will get pissed. i get work isn't always flowing smoothly but i want an actual answer and a good reason besides "we can just give you work and you figure it out when your laid off".
I've tried asking journeymen and apprentices and honestly they cant give me good answer of "its just how the local does it" compared to every single local in the US from what i understand.
