How to get a Union Job

delete

 

Are some cryo companies union? Like praxair, airgas etc...

 

Here's a couple of Teamsters companies that are hiring:
Nick Strimbu Inc.
PI&I Motor Express

 

Most Praxair are unionized w the exception of right to work states, mostly in the S.E.

 

Oh. Sorry. I haven't been a member for long and I've never been part of a forum site. In the future, I'll be more careful.

 

No biggie. Happens all the time!

 

You looking for a union job?
PI&I Motor Express in PA hires new cdl grads.

 

Hey I appreciate the info but I have a good job already. I just like to peruse different threads. Mainly for the comraderie and if I can say something positive in the meantime that's a double bonus. Just out of curiosity what kind of money do they make there? Thanks for your time, Chinatown.

 

I have no idea what they make. Must not be too good there since they have recruiters scrounging around cdl schools looking for drivers and recruit from prisons. Most union companies have a waiting list.
I'm not against hiring ex-cons at all. The reason I mentioned it is once when I posted about it one of their drivers slammed me and said I'm a "big fat liar." I'm all for hiring ex-cons, but many companies won't.

The Richland Correctional Institution in Richland, Ohio recently launched a Commercial Drivers License Program where prison inmates can earn their CDL A license.
While incarcerated, prison inmates must pass a written exam then they can apply for a 4 week training program by local CDL school, Trainco. When they are released from prison they can choose to sign with program sponsor, P I & I Motor Express, as full-time trainee drivers.
During their training period they gain experience by doing short hauls and staying at a local halfway house until they are fully rehabilitated and ready for life outside of prison. After their training period they can choose to stick with the company or test the waters and look for employment with other carriers.
The president of of P I & I Motor Express, Joseph Kerola, says that the drivers aren’t bad people and hopes that by offering them employment it will prevent them from going back to prison again.
In an interview with the Norwalk Reflector he says “People deserve a second chance. None of us are perfect. None of us have done everything right.”
“The demand for skilled truck drivers is going up and up,” Kerola said, adding that there are over 250,000 unfilled truck driving jobs across the nation.
According to Kerola, P I & I trainees earn slightly more than $30,000 a year, plus benefits, and eventually may earn up to $80,000 a year.

 

Thanks alot. That's a shame someone would say something depreciative about you on this site because I see alot of threads where you're trying to show people how to get jobs. As I said before, I appreciate the info but knowing what you just told me I think I'll stay where I'm at. I don't mind ex cons but I like getting paid fairly.
