Are there any USIC union locators out there?

I'm interested in transferring to a district where the locators are in a union. Does anyone know of such places?

Pennsylvania used to be union, they were trying to get guys from here to go there to help strike bust, not sure if they are still union.

Hey Michael - Welcome to the'Vine! Glad to have you on board!

I can't help you with your question. But, Damn! I just LUV your handle! I admire your confidence! Or, maybe you're just stating a fact........... Regardless, it made me chuckle when I saw it!

I must confess, I'm kinda envious that I didn't think of the title first. Not so much as a handle, but more of a moniker. I can see it now:

WINGFOOT - "The Michael Jordan of Locators!"

In reality, it's more like "WINGFOOT - Just One Ticket Away From Obama's Pea Soup Line!"

Anyway Michael, relax....... I'm not going to plagiarize (steal) your title. Thanks for becoming a member of our fraternity of utility workers and please post often!

That got me thinking, I guess I could be SprayandPray -" The George Blanda of Locators".

I'm in a union with them but there is no difference to be honest...

I don't even pay dues

I've seen the payscale for one of their unions, trust me there is a BIG difference when it comes to pay. Although I'm sure all the other garbage is roughly the same.
