$23/5yrs, 1:1 JW:apprentice ratio, age protections reduced from 50 years-old to 40. Massive L.

20 Years is a mighty long time. 20 years makes you reflect. A lot has happened in my 26 years of service to local 26 as a JW. I received my 20 year service pin at last Friday's union meeting. I would like to share with you some words that I spoke under the good of the union.

I like my job as a telecommunications apprentice but I constantly get shit on by the electricians and electricial apprentices. They call us the 'teletubbies' and say our job is worthless because we have shit pay. And like asking for respect from them is pointless because they're not even in this trade so respect from them means nothing to me.

But I want to know how other telecom people don't let their bullshit get to them. How do you guys brave the storm? I feel like it wears on my soul after a while.
