Still looking for work? The project we bid on is commercial painting. The Owner requested change that includes union labor. Our company is not union. What are the terms? Contact me for more info.

Hey Sul. What's your local, and what shop were you at last?

OSully67 · 03-19-2009, 11:05 AM

Local 194 I was with Codeco last

Is that COTE Dec? In Hodgekins/Broadview?

OSully67 · 03-23-2009, 02:04 PM

Yep that would be the one. Were you there too?

paint_booger · 03-23-2009, 02:29 PM

No Sir,

I have my entire resume compiled within the posts here, but ... I never worked for Cote.

During the "Chicago Area Residential Expansion" ... I helped turn the corn into 1/2 mil 4 bed houses with a drywall company. We moved downtown when things got soft, and ROCKED!

But as the state of things have fallen many ... it my company bit the dust too. Contractors had no money to pay. I'm still a quarter short on my benifits. BUMMER!

I'm Local 180 - Berwyn.

HEY!

Is this what you call networking?

They keep talikng about it on the news.

Are you a good painter?

Should I bring you in after I get hired?

Not one of the brothers, cousins, in-laws, or "mex"-in-laws of the owner/VP I guess ... otherwise you would be working (LOL)?

Me neither.

Yeah I guess that's right.

I'm networking, at least trying to. Today has been busy to say the least: Wife's b-day and we took the son on a school trip, I had just walked back in when I first responded.

Yeah, I'm a great painter and I'm still taking upgrade courses so I have certifications in several areas. What do want you want me to say no don't bring me on, YES bring me on! If I get something I'll bring you too.

paint_booger · 03-23-2009, 07:52 PM

I've been plowing down the list of shops, and hearing alot of the same ... SLOW!

I'm not much for the STAR Program ... I should be teaching that stuff!

I'll send a personal mesg with contact info.
