i'm a 25 year member of the union boilermakers in ny , since the beginning i noticed friends and family that are related to the BA or president, or members of the executive board are always called for work first, even if others are before them on the list. Longer term jobs, foreman positions, and just favored conditions are the norm for these people, it's always been overlooked, if you say anything you might not get the next job, or they give you a shit job, while others are comfortable in there position. Well now jobs are few and far between and its very noticeable . Yearly income is not even close to what it used to be , but for some, great jobs still exist for the friends and family club, of which I am not a part of. Calling the BA weekly with the same reply "nope nothing yet" and then you find out that a job came and went and i'm 7 on the list, but nothing for me. What do i do? If i take legal action and nothing good comes of it for me, they WILL retaliate "drop something on ya" is what they say, I already was given a hint once by a "close call" from the BA's son. what do i do im in 25 years, i just want out, they won"t work me, and if a say something they might do something.
