i live in kansas city and have talked to a few guys that work with the local 101 and they dont have much to say about it. im only 20 yrs old and have very little heavy equipment experience and most union workers are older. any advice?

no links please(Shooter)

I'd call the Hall. They'll be the best ones to tell you what the expectations, requirements, etc are.

Since you don't really have much experience, I'd ask about being a "Pre-Apprentice". In other trades, they'll send you out off the C list as a Pre-Apprentice so you get a better idea what the job is like.

In a lot of the Trades, most of the members are in the baby boomer generation. Since all of them are getting close to retirement age, there could be a shortage of tradesmen if the Halls don't fill their lists and recruit more Apprentices.(beth)

I don't have the answer but try looking at the operating engineers' website. There is info about their apprenticeship programs.(src50)

to get in u can get on the c list. or get sponsered by a foreman.(baby f) Yahoo: Engineers training Is it hard to become a union operating engineer (iuoe)? aka heavy equipment operator? iuoe
