    Got a letter in the mail with weekend, my list number is in the 2880’s. Paper work said to come down on February 27th. Looks like I’ll be passing on this as it’s over a 50% cut in pay. 

    What’s your current occupation if you don’t mind me asking? I’m in a construction union and am also taking a pay cut 

  2. Thanks but I know that. The reason I’m asking now is bc I don’t want to wait till orientation to find out that info. Was hoping someone on here would be able to help.

    i wasn’t sure if you max out at $35 after 5yrs or not. If anyone knows and can help I appreciate it. Thanks in advance

    Thank you! Can anyone direct me to the number for Livingston or Ruby Robinson’s number? Thanks in advance 

     

    Young thanks for the help! Called & Spoke to mrs Robinson today. She told me go down to 1 centre st with two id’s. Went, took about 15 min to complete the entire process. Named restored on the list in 5-10 business days. Good luck everyone

    Yes, the list is still open!! Although they're not processing any applicants, they're still hiring with classes every few weeks until May of 2018.

    As far as your second question, the first thing you would have to do is restore your name to the list. Click here for instructions on how to do that via e-mail. After you restore your name to the list, which might take up to two weeks since we're in the "Holiday Season", the next step is to wait for Livingston Street to invite down the next group of people to process for Track Worker. When this happens, you'll be among the first to get processed, since you're list number remains the same, and they go in order by list number. When you go down there, don't be discouraged if you have a high ticket number, since they go by "first come, first served" just for that particular day.

    Good luck!!

  5. What up guys I have a quick 2 questions, 1- is the list still open (are thy still hiring applicants) & 2- I was in the high 100’s of the list number but missed my opportunity for various reasons. I’m able to do so now, if possible how can I go about it? 

    Any info is highly appreciated, thanks in advance guys 

  6. Just a update guys, went to Livingston today got there at 7:30 was done by 11. It was pretty packed but most of the ppl there where there for bus operater. I Handed in my paperwork for the job history waited a few did my drug screening and it was a rap. Thought I would be there till the afternoon but it moved faster then I thought. Told me to keep a eye on my email and sent me home, pretty simple! #95x on the list

  7. So you got a full book as a Cement Laborer, 6A is a good job. I was a Local 40 Ironworker for 15 years, but I'll be honest with you, you will make less as far as an hourly rate here. But in the long run you'll be making allot more, and it's consistent. Plus you have a city pension, and lifetime health coverage. The construction unions aren't what they used to be, right now the building boom is good, but it's going to slow down, and when it does it can last for years. My best year as an Ironworker I made over 190k, the following year I barely broke 50k. With Transit you have stability, having peace of mind in this day in age is what you want over anything. I still pay my dues and maintain my Ironworker book. I was hesitant to leave as well. But in the end you do what makes you happy.

     

    Thanks for the input Steve! I've started looking into it and am still undecided. Once I find out the details of this job hopefully I can compare correctly and make the right decision for me. Ironworker is a tough job so I definitely respect your opinion. How would you compare the physical labor from local 40 to a track worker? Also where can I find the details of the pension, annuity, health coverage for this position so I can compare it to my book benifits I'm receiving now? Thanks again.

  8. What's up guys, just a quick update.. just got my first letter to head to Livingston on the 4th of October. # 95x on the list. I'm a little indecisive at the moment being that I just got my book for local 6A. I know there are a few guys on here with construction worker backgrounds. If any have some input or advice feel free, I can use all the help and info I can get. Thanks!
