Linework In Ca.

[i be tramping now]

How many union brothers are out in Ca working? Was wondering about the conditions around LA area,seems alot of money can be made there but is it worth it? Any input would be greatly appreciated.

Heading out to CA myself. Know a couple of brothers out there and the $$$ are good. They are at So Edison and no complaints. Looking forward to the move. Good luck, be SAFE

You wont make more money anywhere else!!! So Cal Edison has so much work its unbelievable! Anywhere from 5-10's to whatever you are willing to work! Not nearly as much going on up north with PG&E but still good money. I think its $ 38.88 for a J.L. Double time after 8 hrs and on weekends. Iam just an ape and Iam just past 100 k for the year so far....E.S. :cool:

Im a lineman working in southern california right now. I'm from the Ameren area as well and got the hell out of there 2 months after i topped out and been in California ever sense. great money, great brothers, tough work, but worth it. Just keep your head up, the standard is a little behind the times.
