Why ask here and not your local?

You may have to consider going non union to find work. If you are not part of the good ole boy club the union isn't going to do much for you.

going to the Local for a job on the B side is like putting AIR BRAKES on a turtle or Ts on a BULL..they aren't going to help.advice t the poster go ove to the contractors list on the site for 638 and just send your rsime by ML into the owners listed:gah: yuke up th espring is coming so its a good time to set up with a lead guy like ME:grin2:..bypass the ***** office manager and the SM is hanging on by his short hairs....go right to the source...experience talking here....sur go non-union pay your dues but they will be leary when your going to go back to the show..don't limit your self with LI or just outer boros..dive right into the city..say out of BP(racial bosses) and Concept(mafia) and AFGO if your desperate maybe...and the right religion:grin2:

job finding is very hard working task because in that this time there are many financial crises. every business going to down day by day due to international crises.
so dude you have to find job on your capabilities and on your shoulder.
i pray for your all the time..

Do non union companies get suspicious when hiring a guy that was at a union shop in fear of him trying to flip the shop?

the union has a program geared to infiltrate non-union shops and do "salting", non-union shops are aware of it and its very difficult for a former union guy to be hire by a non-union shop.

If one goes into a non-Union Trane Building Services branch or a non-Union Emcor branch to begin organizing, is it still salting? Both these companies have signatory branches all over the country.
My understanding is a National signatory, under either a UA National agreement or the NSMA, can have non-Union branches - but only in right-to-work states. My logic says that neither Trane nor Emcor have any type of National agreement as both of them have non-Union branches in non-right-to-work states. Am I correct?
