Congradulations. Our local sheet metal local is pretty weak. They've been trying to get our company to join up for a few years. Work is getting slim.

I know it is tough. The Plumbers and Pipefitters to the north of my local have had many laid off and some like off since the end of last year. I myself just been laid off like 3 weeks. But been lucky for 21 years never to be off more than a few days. So can't complain. I new one day a time like this would come. But my local of Plumbers and Pipefitters are in pretty good shape. But I must say I am starting to like this time off. May not pay as much but I don;t have much debt luckily. Mostly this truck.
