Here we go again! Still havin' a bit of fun when we can. in between jobs and all the OT, tight schedules, school, and just plain livin'. In this episode, we talked about all kinds of stuff. mostly just stuff but you know, why the hell not. Did call it Big Money because all the stuff we are leading into this year with our contract being up, the cost of a carton of eggs, things that happened with the UAW, and all the work coming down the pipeline. As I see it, this leads to a product of large sums of money coming our way.

Working on getting info for online interviews to get into the apprenticeship, and networking with contractors to help us improve the demographics of our membership to align with the amount of upcoming work.

You know, it doesn't matter what industry you are in, they are all filled with people. It is the nature of the beast that some of those people are just more talented, motivated, a natural, whatever it is but there is a certain percentage that is just all around better. Sherman is not one of those, just kidding bro! You have probably heard the 80/20 rule. 20% of your people will typically do 80% of your work. This is not true in our industry but there are still ones who for some reason are just badass! If there was just a certification for that! It has been said that we have about 15% of the membership are top performers, there are some who we drag along with us, and the rest are all solid contributors so that blows out the 80/20 rule but the thought process is similar. According to Michael Freeland, North Mechanical has a Special Projects Division that they put on some of the projects that are in between service calls and contract jobs. Kind of like Fitter Special Forces. Check out this episode and get a little info on that, where Michael started out, and then if you stick around to the end we get into a little of Eddie's experiences. Throughout the episode though, we are not bashful when it comes to pickin' on each other! Don't forget to check out the website, Working Game Podcast. We are working on getting an online application set up for the apprenticeship. The hidden agenda is to get people in the trade and cover the massive amount of work that is in the near future, so come on, get in, let's do this! If you need help finding a local near you, go to UA.org, there are contacts for locals across the country there.

This is a skill that is passed down from fitter to fitter (plumbers too) and the only way to acquire this trait is to join an apprenticeship through the UA. You can do that here. I did forget to mention in the recording the apprenticeship competition is being hosted this week at UA Local 440 on the 29th and 30th. This is a time for the most skilled apprentices to show off what they have learned and work their way to earning bragging rights of being the best in the country at what we do. Also, on the 29th, we are holding an open house at the hall from 3-7 pm. Come check out one of the nicest and newest training facilities in the country. This is where you could learn the skills to get you through a rewarding career in the piping industry. It is located at 1521 Brookville Way, Indianapolis, IN. I will be there, of course, there are door prizes and snacks too! Come on down and join us, check out the new facility, and hell, might even see if you can get an application for the apprenticeship.

Hi, this week is all about inclusion in the workplace. The UA had a convention last year called Trades women build nations. We had the opportunity to talk to Jessica Marler who attended the convention to represent her local and other women in the trade.  I also talked to Ben Pollock who had already started in a different career and decided to jump ship and join the UA. This is a testament that no matter where you are in your career it may be an opportunity for advancement.  You can check out some more info on diversity in the UA at this website. Give a big shout out to FloSource for their support and the others who help out with promoting this effort, like Reel Pipe and Valve, and UA.org! If you are interested in a career within the UA, use these resources or contact me at chad@workinggamepodcast.com.  We can use your support too! click the link below to learn how!

This is the Reel Deel! Had the opportunity to get with Bo and Austin Reel, some friends of mine who happen to be performing as the best pipe, fitting, and valve distributors in the country. Check out some of the things they have to say about how they got there and where they are going. Living life and performing at your best in this industry is a team effort. It helps to have folks who really care about how things are handled. Especially their partners who are there day in and day out.  This is just one part of many facets of what we do to keep the world we live in safe and operating efficiently to allow you the comforts of a first-world country. Take in some sound, and pass it around! Share with all you can please, We are trying to improve the areas we work and live one lifestyle at a time.  Reel Pipe and Valve are one of the partners I have teamed up with and they are here to help! Give 'em a call at 317-639-8421 or hit the link at the beginning of this sentence.  Some other folks who have been there are listed below, Milwaukee Tool - Grid, for apprentices by apprentices.
