Hawaii Needs Carpenters

Zendik

Hey guys!
I've just moved back to Oahu last week and it's sure busy, another boom! The Hawaii Carpenters Union is 2500 men short and I need at least 8 journeymen drywall hangers yesterday! If anyone is interested living and working in Hawaii we need Carpenters and commercial metal stud framers and drywall hangers. Our local can help in finding a place to stay and our wages and benefits are great.
Anyone interested send me a PM and I'll let you know how to get on over here......

I don't have Internet access at home yet so I have to come to the Cafe, I'll come around later this weekend and every other day during the week to check things out.....

Best place to work this winter!!

The pay is $32.75 hr for Carpenters and $32.95 for Drywall Hangers-Metal Stud Framers along with another $20.00 or so in benefits - Vacation and Retirement. Big Island is booming but so is Oahu although there tends to be more non union work on the Big Island that pays only $25.00 hr with little benefits.
Send me a PM and I'll give you my phone number if you'd like...

I love the part about vacation! It's like here, cheap. LOL

I figure that I've got about 10 good years left in me and I can put most of my employees to shame when it comes to output. Round out the offer with housing prices, cost of living, etc. Just bounced it off of Ol#2 and she's game.

I'll check your info with Kuuipo. Pî ka ihu, ha`u i ka makani.

Uh?! Vacation pay is $5.00 hr. If you work all year that's 2000hrs which translates to $10,000.00........ This is distributed out twice a year---- $5,000.00 in Dec and the other $5,000.00 in June unless of course you have worked overtime.......
Ten years in the Hawaii Carpenters Union will bag ya $100,000.00 in annunity give or take....
Let me know and I'll give ya the number to our business rep....

Zen, the reference was to the fact that both of us already live in vacation lands and I don't remember what a real 'vacation' is anymore. Even when I take time off, I'm always thinking of what might be happening back at the business.

I've got mine and am thinking of going back to a simpler life. I'll still need something to do though, I don't see golf or tending petunias in my future. I'll be building something even if I'm 90 and the project is a birdhouse. LOL

For me this is my last push, 41 and feeling it after two spinal surgeries. I think I have ten more years in me, maybe more.......

i just noticed that too. lol. my wife would love to move there. and have me sell my business here in NJ. we went there on our honeymoon and didn't want to come back.
houses are really expensive though, and so is the cost of living, most people end up working 2-3 jobs unless you are an exec of a company making a couple hundred grand a year. we talked with a few people who lived there and most said they are working 2 jobs to live there.
i was surprised to read that the drywall hangers are making a little bit more than the carpenters. that's just wrong. lol

I was just over on the Big Island last year and there were a bunch of new houses going up. Now if they can only do something about all that traffic on the only one lane road that wraps around the whole island then maybe I might do it.
