Probably…I don’t wear bags anymore that’s for suckers 😂😂😂
Worked for owners who won’t do shit gotta say I have respect for ones when crunch time will get out and work to help out. Last place I worked at his dad made a reputable biz his son destroyed it.

Current for my brother and crunch time he goes out and works guess why he has a dcb these days.are you driving a dcb not putting on bags??he has a waterfront on havasu as well and I’ll say the extra effort makes it happen. I know you do well too respect there but trying to rip on owners working is bs. They have waterfronts and expensive shit for a reason. Drunkstick seems
To get out there bust the hours and enjoy the days off. Power to him guy works for it.

So ripping on owners putting on bags is a bullshit thing imo they are ones who will go bust it out if needed vs sittin back lazy shits.

I worked for sharpe interiors for 15 years. Steve sharpe is a multi millionaire. You will never see him with bags on. There’s small time and there’s big time. Rick is small time. If I ever own a company it will be just that. A company owner. I wouldn’t be a drywaller any more. But all that aside I’m mostly joking cause there’s not a chance in hell he would out work me😂😂😂

Just saying some
Like to keep it small,some like to still work on small scale nothing wrong with that. That’s why you are I don’t own the companies only work for them. Luckily I was able to put myself in a part time deal now ain’t the richest person not the angriest just happy south current position.

If an owner chooses to work good
For them some need to keep busy others don’t

He still posts videos with her from time to time. I feel like a lot of people use him for his money. Kind of shitty

I’ve seen it first hand..he’s got some real ones but some others like you said. When our paths have crossed he’s always been cool and I give back the same vibe you give me. He runs a solid company, quality etc… I know he doesn’t screw around when it comes to money/business.

A couple of my buddies work for him. I have zero issues with the guy, don’t even know him. I think he’s entertaining to watch and hope he does well but I don’t mind talking shit either if that’s what we are gonna do. I hope his business does well and hope none of my buddies get themselves in trouble. I don’t say shit about who works for him or where that’s not the way I get down. I just know the union is watching him because I work out of that building. And knowing who works for him the quality is decent 😜

Just curious if you work in the union are you not allowed to work out of it if things are slow?

Short answer is no. In this case ricks jobs are being picketed. That makes it worse
Got it didn’t know how the union vs non union works another topic but thanks for the basic explanation.

It’s one of the things that frustrates me about the union. Often times there’s awesome people sitting in the hall but because the union doesn’t have work the expectation is you sit home until there is.

Most don’t sit and do work elsewhere but it’s the expectation the union has on you guys that is frustrating.

Idk what's going on here. But I know 2 things. I got no hate for unions. Just played a union golf tournament.

2. Ummmm Joe Rogan is a pot head. He doesn't seem lazy to me. I certainly wouldn't want to go 3 rounds with him.

That is all. Carry on.

I think it’s chicken shit that union guys can’t put food on the table anyway possible when the hall/union companies can’t keep them working.

Who are they to tell a guy he can’t put his bags on to make a buck outside of their local. They have the right to work and earn a living just like everyone else.

Yet the “brotherhood” shits on “scabs” hustling to make a living doing non union work.

I’m pretty sure you’ve talked about doing side jobs several times. You going to tell your union rep?

Then they picket some guy
with entrepreneurial spirit running a legit business trying to get his and keep guys working when the “brotherhood” isn’t doing shit for them to earn a paycheck.

Fuckstick hustles and I hope he is left alone. He’s not hurting anyone running a business and getting guys a paycheck.


It’s real easy to talk shit on a business owner when you get to collect a check every week. I have a ton of respect for people who run a construction company. It’s not easy whether your “big time” or not. The government doesn’t make it easy in CA. They don’t need union halls trying to fuck them over too by Picketing the job site.

Shout out to the little guy trying to get his. There’s a ton of them On here….

Rant off…

Nobody on this forum would last 3 rounds with Joe Rogan! 🤣 That man is a fucking BEAST!!

I get it but in all honesty when you go and work for less that’s bullshit too. We weaken our bargaining power and essentially train the competition. I see both sides of it as I’ve been on both sides of it. I will never fault a man for providing for his family.

Somebody else told my union rep for me 😂😂 im not going to get into all the details here but side work and jobs that take work from union brothers are two different things. When I did that church someone called on me and I was pulled into the office. I’m also a delegate for my local now so it’s a little different for me. Building BBQ pits and sheds in backyards isn’t going to raise any flags. Like I said early he has too much attention on him now and trying to go head to head with the union isn’t the greatest idea but I’ll watch it.

You realize that just because a guy got his union journeyman card doesn’t mean he knows more than the non union guy that learned in the field and not in a classroom? I can guarantee to you not all journeyman are equally skilled, yet they get paid the same. Same goes for non union guys.

You aren’t always training the competition. There are guys out there that don’t need a journeyman card to prove they are smarter than a union guy. No different than a teacher with a credential. Just because they can teach, doesn’t mean they are a good teacher.

It goes both ways though. There are really smart union guys too. Ironically, a lot of them figure out they are worth more than the union scale
They are maxed out at and end up starting their own business or are able to set their hourly rate based on the skill they provide. Outside the hall.

As far as hurting the unions bargaining power. That’s an entirely different thread.

DISCLAIMER- if anyone got their union pension and are sitting pretty great for you. Union isn’t for everyone. Respect the other side.

I always thought it was "Live Better Work Less" in the union. Lots of union Guys used to have similar stickers on there rides.

I grew up spending my Summers on a hog farm. "Work harder live poor die rich". Was more along the lines of my Farmer Grandparents lifestyle.

I just got done with work for the day. Still trying to figure out how to work less and make more. But so far the work harder make more seems to work for Me. I am just a scab Construction worker trying to live my best life. Probably should of got a real job. To late for that.

I dunno… ol fuckstick learned everything in the union says so right on his insta. I’m not gonna go back and forth there’s a reason union guys get top dollar and non union guys don’t. There’s a reason prevailing wage exists. People can work wherever they want I couldn’t care less. Everyone has choices to make in life. When I retire in 10 years at 45 with a full pension I’m sure I’ll be regretting my choice to go union. 6 years making a great living sitting in a classroom. Yea the union sucks 😂😂

What’s your highest paid journeyman? Total package… hourly wage plus benefits. Vacation, retirement, medical, dental. Just curious as that adds real facts to the conversation.

I’m not a union guy, but reading this post is exactly why I’d never consider them to be something of value to modern society.

I think people lose sight of privately funded unions vs publicly funded unions. My plan was to be done at 49, but it appears that it will be 55 now. After that I plan on getting some other type of job to keep insurance coming in and a little extra money.
