@Lee. Got my call yesterday. Went in the union hall today, filled out all my paperwork. I start Monday for Mitsubishi. So all is good and today just happens to be my birthday.

@Frankra8er Congrats man! Thanks for the info. Sounds like you had a damn good birthday. Good luck out there!

Anyone still following? Found out I am number 3 on the list and want to be prepared with a compliant safety boot. If anyone knows this info please share. Thanks

Otis requires steel toe, electrical hazard and puncture resistant. I wear Keens. They are super comfortable, but wear out quickly. I can get a year out of them, but I work new installation and we shred boots.

Thanks for the heads up hog451. I will look into Keens

Got another question for anyone who can answer. Heard a few things. All hear say on benefiting from travel expenses? Having a choice on hotel or on your own as far as perdiem goes. Wondering if having a camper trailer would be a good investment for out of town work. Thanks in advance.

@ Lee with as much work as i have heard that Charlotte has tons of local work, that's where you will be working primarily. Any out of town work will be random, and definitely not worth buying a camper trailer,

Appreciate it hog451. Good to know we have a ton of local work. Does the union compensate differently when choosing not to stay in a hotel or is that hear say?

Did anyone recently get picked up by Otis? Just wondering we had 3 new hires in for orientation the other day.

If you get called do you have time to put in a 2 weeks notice? The reason I ask is because one guy said they called and he started the next day.

You got to report to the union the next day for orientation

So they don't give you time to notify your current job that you will be quitting?

@buckeye: there is no time for a notice. It's "We have a job take it or we move on."
@Lee the Union does not compensate you, your company does. The union negotiated the terms of employment including per diem and travel reimbursement. You get perdiem whenever you're in a zone that has perdiem, Zones will be explained to you when you get hired. if you'rein a zone that qualifies for a hotel reimbursement; you get the room (keep it reasonable) they pay you back.
When I was hired I reported to the company, not the union. I didn't meet with a union guy until a month or so after I was hired. Each local is different.

Dude you should be on top o your Crap and call every week until you are like 5 away from being called that's when yo put in your two weeks,even then they might call you in quicker.
