how is it that edison can run ad campaigns costing millions of dollars, but want to raise our rates at the same time? It's not like we have a choice who we get power from, yet they feel the need to run tv commercials telling us that they've been providing us with excellent service for over 100 years and how they are changing with the times. I've got a better idea..............cancel the ad campaigns and lower my rates.................
Rant over..........
this is no joke my uncle and my dads friend son work for edison the son is 29 and a line man apprentice last year he cleared 147 grand. and my uncle cleared 189 grand. all of this is overtime on call work they are union and pretty much can never be fired. its a joke how much they make but i would not mind it my self
yes it can be. ive worked wrecks where big trucks have taken out power lines and the lines are drapped over the wrecked truck and the power is grounding thru the truck. lots of ariel work in boom trucks so i guess the pay my reflect danger but when u reg pay is 31 bucks and hr and the overtime and double time adds up really quick i wish i made that kind of money. im on the side of the fwy hooking up a disabled rig right on the shoulder and people go flying past me at 80 and dont even bother to get over even a little bit. wheres my danger pay
sphssIf you're making $150K + a year at SCE on the tools, you have no life cause you're working every weekend and then some. And I've seen plenty of people get canned from Edison. It's hard yes, but it happens all the time.this is no joke my uncle and my dads friend son work for edison the son is 29 and a line man apprentice last year he cleared 147 grand. and my uncle cleared 189 grand. all of this is overtime on call work they are union and pretty much can never be fired. its a joke how much they make but i would not mind it my self
oh believe me i know this and these the younger one is still an apprentice and gets all the shizz shifts. he is still trying to come up. my uncle has been with edison for 42 years and does mostly office work during the day but is on call 24/7 365 cause of his seniority he over sees alot of stuff at his shop. my uncle is also the union rep for his shop and hates it cause he has to go to bat for a lot a shizz bags that dont deserve to keep there jobs. thats union

sphssI'm guessing that helo gets worked to death patrolling. In the old days they used trucks, horses or donkeys and it took forever. Guess the helo doesn't bother me too much.Here is So Cal Edison's brand new EC-135......only costs a cool couple of Million.
