its for insurance purposes. union or not the shop they work for is smart because they're getting a discount on there insurance because of the morning "stretch and flex'
what the fuck does being union have to do with mexican you fucking retard if you look back to our ibew union electrical forfathers they were also some illegals there you fucking dumbass know what you talking about first brotherhood in the ibew doesnt equal kkk you racist bastard i shouldve known a true worm show its true colors
I am a Union Man and I could care less what anyone says about it..................... And I think that they are doing the stretching because of OSHA 10.
this is horse shit. Its OSHA required bullshit or either the project manager is making them stretch before work. Of course it looks fucking retarded but the checks look great. Im not UNION either but I had to do this shit on a really big jobsites. It is what it is, stop hattin!
this is done at pretty well all the jobsites now around the Tarsands the first time i done this was maybe 4 years ago working for Pyramid corp and several other companies most certainly do it to it has nothing to do with being union i,b,e,w or other Pyramid is not with ibew it has more to do with the number of people a company has these are called strechtes or say warm up exercises and the bean counters at the company have figured out these activities save the company by reducing injuries
I doubt you guys can get close to my pay scale. But besides that I would like to call a truce if your for union good for you if not good for you too at least we have jobs everyone has there own opinions and what ever pays the bills is all that counts I just wish it wasn't such a big deal. So this is my last comment about this subject please don't respond just take it in stride and keep up the good work and stop the hate toward one another. It's the same license and the same code book so what's
I enjoy the I.B.E.W. I work hard and smart. Get great pay. I have little respect for unorganized Contractors. It all boils down to one thing, putting food on the table. Sounds like garr2345 is jealous.
Laughing at the people writing anti-union comments. Just know that they make more money than you, have better health benefits, and safer working conditions. I guess I can see why you would be jealous...
@This19 yeah they cost more to the state as well and cry and threat to strike every time they dont get what they want. plus i ve seen some of their work and wish i haven't how does something take so long and come out so shitty have pride in your work its your motto. i know the country was built with unions i respect that and dont have a problem with them just their attitude toward nonunion people is horrible. i have the same license they do. more respect is all im asking. plus exercising is gay
@BroGuyDude damn right the union dont know how to do it so i do it my self just kidding i dont need to pay union dues or do gay exercises in the morning. you'll see what im talking about when you sit on the bench for six months out of the yaer and im still working trying to pay your unemployment and medical and what not.plus when your on the bench you still got to pay those dues lol. the union name is going down its unfortunate because we wont have anybody left to under bid. lol all the way home
@thescoresman1000 besides i didnt insult the ibew i never said anything about them. i might be a bully on youtube but i actually respect the big organizations.
when i have worked near them in the past they seemed really smart. for instance when i was working on something live they asked me about lockout tagout and ppe and cited codes and what not.its unfortunate my company doesnt train as well as they do and supply the ppe when asked for in a timely manner but im still working and trying harder
@s0584333 yes, we might sit on the side for maybe half the year, but in those six months that we are working, we'll make way more than what you do in a whole year.
I have to say, I can't see what everybody has against unions. If it were not for them all construction workers would have to put up with the kind of conditions we had on the job 60 years ago, with absolutely no regard for personal safety or work conditions, and crap pay. Sounds like lose-lose to me.
@MannybeingManny2434 Of course its a union.No filthy illegal Mexicans there. Plus everyone is wearing the proper PPE.Some GC and not the union electricians want you to perform these warm ups before work. Insane as it may sound but statics show warms like this greatly decrease muscle pulls. I big problem for electricians are bad shoulders from holding stuff overhead for durations. Again. This isn't a union rule but a GC rule that they WANT done and pay for it too. Usually only 5 minutes.
@MannybeingManny2434 Before making a ridiculous, clueless, factless based comment, maybe best to educate yourself first prior to opening up your man pleaser and sound like a true scab.
@westy44cal Maybe best to educate myself first? I was making a joke dumbass! I sound like a true scab? What the fuck does that even mean? Wait dont answer that, I don't care!
I can't find an answer to this. The neutral (groundED) wire is bonded to the groundING wire at the enclosure box. Current is constantly alternating direction in AC power. To an electrical load, the power seems to be coming from the "hot" wire, then from the "neutral" wire and back to "hot" again - correct? If the neutral wire is carrying current - why isn't current constantly passing from the neutral to the ground wire and into the earth? I've looked all over and can't find an answer to this.
the current is alternating between phases in your panelbox. not between neutral and hot. if you unscrew you panel box you will see 3 main wires feeding your main breaker. 1 is neutral and the other two are phase a and b. thats where the alternating is happening.
@damrak1969 Path of least resistance. If you lose your neutral, It will go back to your ground rod / water pipe / steel/ etc. But you will be having major issues and should notice a problem right away.
@damrak1969 Alternating current is alternating between positive and negative voltages. Neutrals only complete the circuit to ground, and are only carrying current from the load to ground. Hope that helps...
Saftey isn't the Union's responsibility, it's the workers responsibility. I've done work for union shops and non-union and is all the same. Last time I checked OSHA were the ones who enforce saftey regulations. The Union likes to brag that they are safer because they sign a piece of paper that's says that they'll comply and provide hartd hats/saftey glasses. They also boast a drug free workforce. And the Union is drug free my ass.
Any half wit drunk or stoner can pass a drug test. Worked with tons of union drunks and potheads. Wages and beni's are good but only when there is work. And as far as choice of jobs through the union, to say that you have any at all is a joke.
This is the kind of job that Obama wants to create and have use pay for it. Typical IBEW do-little morons. You guys can't do exercise on your own time? Do you always have to do this kind of crap on a job that is paid for by the taxpayer? And you wonder why people hate unions.
Dude aint gonna let this fruitcake dance cut in to his cell phone time, I'm on the clock baby. Hows Unions working out for GM,Ford,And Chrysler? Ya cant pay people to screw off for ever and make a profit.
I'm sorry, but my husband's been an electrician for more than ten years, and he's NEVER had to do any crap like this. He never did it in school either... and doing silly stuff like that isn't very likely to keep you "in shape"... maybe alert? I can't imagine why they're doing this, but it's certainly not something that all plumbers, carpenters, and electricians do, lol.
DOing stretches and stuff is more about insurance and workers comp. liabilities ect. A stretched and limbered up worker is less likely to pull out one of his muscles while working. Same reason you should stretch b4 doing ANYTHING at the gym. The guys above are probably part of a union as well. Safety and health first!
I know all work is a form of degradation, but this is taking it to the level of the ridiculous. What's next, ball room dancing? If they made me do that shit I think I'd swan dive from the lift.
If you take too yourself seriously in life you will probably be a very bitter person. Its just fun and its a warm, if you dont want to do it i dont think you have to, or just can talk on your cellphone like the guy there.
I understand this. I study to become an electrician, and like all carpenters, painters, plumber etc etc, you have to bee in a pretty good shape. thats why I stretch a lot, and taking care of my body. you also work in pretty small areas and need to be flexible.
When i started school for the apprenticeship in the electrical field, we had to do physical training every morning before class started. It was sort of military style (stretching, jogging, push-ups, sit-ups,arm-curls,) it was a living hell. So my respects to all who practice this routine before work in the morning.
Injury prevention warm-up and stretching routine. Company's coverin' there butt trying to keep insurance rates down by lowering work related injuries. Ive never personally dealt with this but have heard of it happening.
I've been an electrician for 10+ years.. the second a company wants me to do that --- or wear such a stupid getup with the orange vests, I'll walk out and work somewhere else...
its for insurance purposes. union or not the shop they work for is smart because they're getting a discount on there insurance because of the morning "stretch and flex'
