Can I make it?

admin

Want to say hello first off, my question is how hard will it be to get into local 798 as a helper? Im 32 years old single and been in the construction industry as a operator local 965 for 12 years, did allot of general welding useing 7018, 6011 rod maitaining milling machines and other equipment,  work is really slowed down the past 5 years. I have also completed cmmercial divie training and have my adci card and whenin training welded underwater on different pipe and plate. Working the pipeline is something that I really want to try and be successful at and would appreciate any guidance and help from anyone. Thanks for your time...Jake
Reply:I hope no one has been offended by my previous post. I guess im just looking for info about getting into 798, Ive read that it is very hard to get in even as a helper without already knowing people that are in the local, this is truly something I want to persue and any help would be very much appreciated. thanks....Jake.

Reply:There are alot of helpers that are out of work right now. This year has been slow, really slow, it's even been pretty rough for welders but the website is www.local798.org they've got applcations on there print one out fill it out and send it to Tulsa and see what they say. Good luck is all I can say.I know I may be burnt up, but your ol' lady likes 'em crispy!Member Pipeliners Union 798
