Millwrights Trades Books

IPT's INDUSTRIAL TRADES HANDBOOK is an excellent trouble shooting guide for Millwrights and Industrial Mechanics. It is a required text in many apprenticeship and upgrading programs, and is used by technical colleges, trade unions and the maintenance departments of refineries and chemical plants, utilities, mines, and construction and maintenance companies.
You can find this book and many others at www.unionmillwright.com
Thanks

economic deregulation


In 2008, we are finally be forced to start paying the price for the falsely named set of economic policies once labeled “economic deregulation” that became the national political creed with the election of Ronald Reagan in 1980. We shifted the tax burden to those least able to bear the strain by raising taxes on both the poor and the middle class. We cut dramatically the tax burden of the wealthy and even more so for the Super Wealthy. We encouraged paper financial profits over real economic growth. We exported our industrial base weakening our nation because it temporarily profited our economic elite.

Until 1933


Until 1933, no unions, no rules: you were at the mercy of your foreman. I could go to work at seven o'clock in the morning, and at seven fifteen the boss would come around and say: you could come back at three o'clock. If he preferred somebody else over you, that person would be called back earlier, though you were there longer. It was lousy. Degraded. You might call yourself a man if you were on the street, but as soon as you went through the door and punched your card, you was nothing more than a robot.............

Woods Group Looking For Union Millwrights

March 13, 2008

Union Millwrights:

Ron Oliver

Dear Ron,


I would like to thank you for offering the opportunity to pass on some information about Wood Group Field Services to the Union Millwrights.


Wood Group Field Services is a union contractor. We are the largest union contractor on the west coast and one of the largest in the Gulf Coast area. We have offices in California, Texas, Minnesota, Louisiana, and Delaware. We employ hundreds of union millwrights (1,000,000+ man hours annually) across the country providing field service for outages, turnarounds, new construction and maintenance.


Qualified union millwrights are the backbone of everything we do. The new WGFS website has been designed as a database where union millwrights can create a profile, list their skills and certifications, and notify us of their availability for work. It is our hope that the millwrights receiving this will take a few minutes to sign up at www.woodgroup.com/fieldservices. Information gathered on our site will not be distributed to anyone.


Our trade and the industry are evolving. We are committed to staffing our projects with a trained and skilled workforce.


Web site questions? Comments? Concerns?

Email dan.henderson@woodgroup.com


Thanks again Ron for all your help,


Sincerely,


John Hanks, Operations Manager

China


So you think that Union labor controls the economy.It is not labor but greed.

It is about Greed,.......
Greed of the ceo's,Greed of the U.S. Politicians.


If China's wages rise 8% annually for the next five years, says a Boston Consulting Group study, the average factory hand will still earn just $1.30 an hour by then.

Wage gap closing . . . very slowly
All U.S. workers need to do is be patient, and soon the wage gap that has sent so many U.S. jobs overseas to low-cost countries such China and India will be gone.

Yep, if U.S. workers -- or their children -- just wait a little while longer, then after a mere 32 more years of 10% raises, a Chinese worker making $100 a month -- well above the current official minimum wage of $87 a month, I admit -- will have closed the wage gap now separating the Chinese worker from the U.S. worker making $2,000 a month.

That assumes, of course, that the U.S. worker will not have received a single raise in those 32 years. If the U.S. worker has averaged even a 3.5% annual raise, the Chinese worker will need 50 years to close the wage gap
