IBEW said "brotherhood", doesn't apply ( bad people around, you cant trust or you get stab), when you get older, you "must" be the same, work hard!(you are "not" more 25 years old). For this, laid off is often and no consideration.Few companies are good (decent)

IBEW said "brotherhood" , that 's no apply .When you get older , contractors they don't care if you are 25 0r 60 years old , for them every body is the same .The way what they treat you , is not the best and issues the people around you, like jealousy , bad comments and them you have to work hard , most of the time to making happy.
