Thanks in advance!

Sacramento is considered local 8-SF, all I know is my last update was they hired 5 in early August, I called a couple of weeks ago and it was the same. Here's the locals number 415-285-2900

Pardon my ignorance, I don’t have much experience with union based work. So if Sacramento is in the same jurisdiction as SF...that means it’s kind of luck of the draw right? You get on the SF list and could get dispatched to either?

Thanks / sorry for the dumb question

I’m not on the list actually, just trying to get a feel for the workload. I spoke with a Thyssenkrupp guy a few months back on a job I was working in Sacramento and he encouraged me to apply. I do electrical work right now.

After they retire, other current mechanics might want to transfer there when spots open. I don't know what the true demand is but that could be a factor.

Yeah man thats true, I'm number 30 so it won't be probably next year for me to get hired and that's if I'm lucky, almost a year now and only 7 people have been hired as apprentices..

FYI if you think the baby boomers are going to retire you're right, they retired in 2007 when the economy tanked. There are 25k IUEC members how many retired last month? 16. How many from Local 8? 1.
