Home Forums Introduction Welcome to Elevator Trader Local 8 - SF

Hopefully it’s gone up since the last time someone asked.

No change

They're at 91 ..I'm 44 on the list

The list moved?

I called earlier still same number ive been stuck at 6 for a few weeks now so 92 is what they are on

Thats sounds about right. Sh!# needs to start moving

I think the list moved

I just got the phone call! I have to report tuesday 7:30 at the hall.

Congrats . Assuming they stopped at 6 I should be 11 on the list. If anyone calls please update!!!!

My foot is half way out th door at work I’m about to take off running to the hall. Lol

Congrats man, thats awesome! At least 6 calls today then... Keep us posted and let us know where you're headed too

Thanks guys! And i think im getting picked up where i have been working the past year with Unique Elevator. Im a welder/fabricator for their shop (non union) but now getting switched over to their field (union side)

Congrats on your new journey!

If anyone is interested I believe local 39stationary engineer is opening up soon. I read in their monthly magazines a lot of my friends I went to school with work in hospitals as stationary engineers.

Hey so how does the call work? I know you go to orientation and then what? Do you have to take a physical and the drug test that same day too? How soon do you go to work after the call?

Im not 100% sure ill find out on tuesday and post on here

Congrats tincan and for sure let us know what its like that first week

I called this morning and they only moved one off the list....anybody else call?

I’m not understanding because Tin was number 6 for a while if I’m not mistaken

Unsure how true this is but a foreman told me you get 2 calls. You can pass the first one up ie if you live in Auburn (like me} and get dispatched to San Jose. Then you pray you get a call from Sacramento (Roseville has a huge hospital about to take off with Otis).

It's a gamble but I'll probably take the first call and commute once a week. You can transfer in 6 months from what I understand.

Edit- Also unsure but in local 3 a company can pull a specific person from the list when they are close enough. That could be the situation here.

I met number 99 today in my orientation it was him abd me. I was 98 when I started. Be prepared for a lot paper work and signing stuff. They explain as much as they can and it is a little bit overwhelming and a lot of information to take in. Took about 2 and half hours. Then they send you to the job site right after. ( to whichever company youre assigned to) really important to just keep up with your time card among other paperwork and attend the monthly probie meetings.

local 3? as in operating engineers? and i heard it was a year to transfer? i applied with reno so hopefully i get to move up in the ranks to get to work quicker in roseville.
