You all just need to man up and park every damn truck at the dock.

Journeyman Lineman. Local 1002, Tulsa.

Can't speak for everyone but I think you may have an isolated issue. When it comes to safety equipment we have always had the green light. Before the end of the year we were told to spend money...

Just do it like Tulsa. Hire one in as a second step, keep him on a 2 man trouble truck for his entire apprenticship, call him a Journeyman!!

I worked 4 years non-union before I started on with PSO.

IBEW Local 1002......4 years to late.

We have a new BA that I hope will light a fire under the membership's a$$!!!

Some of the stuff I see pulled by our upper management (and ONE sds) I'm not entirely sure A E P itself is to blame. Sure, they are allowing what they know, but I believe they are being fed a pretty...

It's my understanding that U-9 was estabished as a way to negotiate w/ AEP as one voice between them and the IBEW. They wanted it to save money on negotiations and we wanted it believing we would...

A question for the true AEP hands. Not the ones from companys that have been bought out but the ones w/ nothing but A E P on the truck doors. How are you treated by managment and the co.? Its...

An entire forum just for U9. Whats the plan. I can see this getting brutal.

What all contractors have crossed the picket line so far.

AEP is supposed to be getting them in the trucks. We'll see.

No, the kids will be to damn scared to free climb.
The real point of this is to dumb down my trade. The fear of climbing weeds alot of punks out of linework. What you will have is dumber lineman...

I guess it was another 2 man crew. Journeyman got bumped to a foreman and 2ND YEAR GOT BUMPED TO A LINEMAN and they were sent out to repair a N on a transformer station. (What are we; DHE). What...

Somewhere in Texas an AEP crew was responding to poor voltage.

7620 to 2400 step down transformer next to a 2400 to 480 transformer. They checked voltage w/ a fluke meter at the step down...

That's where Div. came from?:eek: They are trying to burn down tulsa as we speak. That's the co. that backed over and killed a customer of ours during the ice storm. And we brought them back first...

Pso is in a right to work state. That does not mean our bosses can fire us w/out just cause. Thats not what right to work means. We also have a no strike clause while we a UNDER CONTRACT. I...

AEP has been looking into buying them for a few months now. Maybe this will help speed them along. (portable defibs, not pacemakers):)

It was either a pacemaker or some sort a valve he had in...

2nd and 3rd degree burns on 2% of his body. Last I heard he is doing well and shoud be out of ICU by now.

They said they could hear his pacemaker clicking over and over. I guess restarting his...

12 oz frozen limeaid
12 oz 7-up
12 oz corona
12 oz tequilla (the good stuff)

add a splash of grand marnie(sp) if you cant hang.

Not big on rieters but this will get you just right.

And...

3 years ago i was non-union. Thats why I still try to talk to them. I'm sure their are some good kids over there that have been brain washed just like i was. It just gets aggrevating that the co....

sorry, but i feel better

If its a rat outfit your looking for come on over to Tulsa. Aep/Pso are pulling em in from everywhere. We got your Pike, we got your Elloit, we got your Chain, we got your Razz (the good razz, not...

Not to pull you off your subject, but are your lower ape's being taught to free climb at least for emergency situations. I work for AEP west and was wondering how it was being done.
