You need to call the N.Y. Times and CNN and let them know....They think that no one in the country can get a job.

Congrats Gwjvw

That's awesome news. I work for the major phone company and I left the IBEW years ago to join the management ranks. Worst move I ever made. The local IBEW 2222 is a great union. Does a lot of good things for their members. Especially stability and benefits, which is a must nowadays...good luck and stay put.
