We have a mass meeting the 22nd of Sept. The future direction of our current negotiation will be looked at. So far we have taken a beating. The company has done no good faith bargaining. Our...
I had the same thing happen 2 years ago. We relied on a driven ground, my fault, rather than go to the system neutral. The pline was wrapped mid-run around the center conductor. The guy following...
I can tell you the difference having worked both sides of the fence. At CMP, the company keeps all of the technical construction jobs for their in house construction crew. Any jobs involving the...
Check your P.M.s, sorry for the delay.
I was told by my boss the other day that Salisbury has told him my bell cuffs will be in sometime on the fall of 2010. Salisbury is a joke.
With a faulted cable we often thump it and that will definitley make the faulted cable apparent when it is dug up. The majority of them are burned right off. I'm kind of puzzled how you jumper out...
Not good. Will post more after wednesday.
We get 10 hours straight time for a friday to friday duty week. On a holiday week we get 12 hours straight time. We get a minimum four hour call out or the 1 1/2 rate which ever is more. Between...
Tragic, another brother lost. My thoughts go out to the family.
Highplains that is bulls*t about the transferability of rating. In the Northeast locals often let former non-union guys work in the local without taking a test, based on work experience and where...
Is that what causes stink hand. I had to throw one out last month. Nothing would get rid of the smell, bleach, soap, gold bond, nothing.
I love hot distribution construction. There is just nothing like having do work on really involved poles. The rigging, the clearance, wire stringing. I can't even tell you how much I miss it. ...
I'm all for buying American, but if the product is going to help stop my wrist, shoulder, and elbow pain I have to say go with it. Salisbury gloves are crap. Hopefully, Salisbury will take this as...
You know I wondered about that when I looked a the Pole Choker 6, and the pizza cutter the Canadian guys were using. We actually had the same setup in a trailer park and the guys were kind of...
Marigold is going to be the manufacturer of the Chance gloves. I believe that they are out of the U.K. We are supposed to get some test sets as sonn as they start manufacturing. If we get any I'll...
John Carroll is a dumb shit. Everyone here knows it. He has made more misstatements to the press during storms than you could count on all of your toes and fingers. He has caused us endless...
It depends at our IOU. Residential customers can build there own Secondary URD, then we connect it after an inspection. If anything goes wrong with it later though they own it, so we either bill...
Ben we glove 12, but stick 19. We cover the arm, pole, or jumper where it contacts a ground. We do not however, cover the entire length of the jumper. It is already insulated. At some point you...
I love copperweld that stuff is bullet proof. We had two jobs last year that removed 4/0 cu stranded, and 2/0 cu stranded. One of the smaller guys could get lift off when holding onto a handline...
We have worked with union tree guys from NY. They were with tamarack tree co. I wish we had them all the time. All we have up here regularly are non-union guys who are hit or miss and get treated...
CL, I am all for making a stand, we had an informational demonstration today by the shop. We got lots of thumbs ups,and honks. The people out with signs represented every department. Very...
We have copper from the 30s, and arms with wooden pins scattered around.
We use three strand yellow poly rope and a screwdriver. That is what all of our block lnes have in them. Why have a special piece of equipment to drag a mile into a right of way. Screwdriver,...
Rock on CL. I think all of the corporate execs are playing from the same play book. We are actually owned by Iberdrola, and managed by Energy East, so we are dealing with the same massive Corps....
