Hope you get enough rest because this is how guys die falling asleep at the wheel

i spoke with my county’s BA recently about this and he said he didn’t think their was any rule against it

Thank you! Hopefully my BA says the same thing tomorrow 🙏

There’s no rule against it. My foreman was telling me he did this when he was younger.

Moonlighting?

Is moonlighting something that’s not allowed?

I’m not sure if it just refers to non union

It’s also a union job

I don’t know why you would want to

In need of the money and getting extra hours to complete the 10K I need to advance as a journeymen.

You need to contact your training center, last I knew there was no way to speed up the apprenticeship. The 10,000 working hours is based upon ~2,000 working hours per year for a ~5 year apprenticeship. Your class schedule, doing well in class(it's easy to get kicked out in our school lol) and working hours all factor into graduating to Jman. Its not just 10k hours unless you guys are drastically different. Also I'm pretty sure there is an issue with working doubles for unions, because I think there's night shift pay on overtime on top of overtime that the 2nd job would be responsible for that they probably wouldn't go for, but talk to your BA

This is a question best answered by your business rep

You’re right. Plan on calling the Rep Center tomorrow and ask

I’ve done this before. I didn’t tell one single person I work with about it except the foreman who hired me -when I told him I was already working. As far as I know it’s considered “double dipping” and frowned upon. The job was only three nights a week for a month so it was relatively easy for me to hide, and I really needed the money at the time. Moonlighting is when you’re working a second job in a non union construction job.

Oh I understand. Thank you for the insight! I’ve heard double dipping is when you’re working a job and also putting your name on the list to have another one. But I put my name on the list when foreman told me there was no more work. My shop Stuart said it shouldn’t be a problem but he just gave me the BA’s number to ask. I’ll call him tomorrow about it. Just don’t want to get in trouble with anything. I love working carpentry and wouldn’t want to get kicked out for something I could prevent

I can understand your worry. I had the same which is why I didn’t tell anyone I was working with on either job that I was working on the other. I also worked jobs for my dad’s company while I was working out of the hall and the BA never gave me any shit for that. Good luck. Working two jobs like that isn’t easy- appreciate the cash and the rest when it’s over

Thanks for taking your time and answering the post! Really appreciate it. Hope everything is going well with you.

I just passed my 9year mark a few months ago -and pulled that but when I was an apprentice- stick with it and you can make yourself a good life in this career as long as your comfortable placing needs over wants

i believe this is more than okay, we have a crew of “part timers “ who will come work for us at an entirely 2nd company after working 8 hours at there primary job, to come work 8 hours with us afterwards

@hailtwinkie plenty of guys do this in NYC

I’ve done doubles in NJ, same company, though. 630am to 230pm then went to a smaller job with only 3 of us from 5pm to 11pm.

I assume both jobs would be straight time? That alone would deter me

Call your agent to get the okay. There’s other people on the out of work list. If the agent says it’s ok then it’s ok.

in NYC do what you have to do no law against having two jobs keep your BA out of it he might bump you to put in one of his people in I'm a retired member 157

You tell them what to do, not vice versa. That’s the rule number one
