[QUOTE="LuckyDucky, post: 2265981, member: 63515"] OK, my husband John passed the PE Mechanical written test, and today he passed the inperson/hands on test. He was weak on electric, not surprising, but he's exceptional with mechanics. They said they will hire him for 25 an hour on a temporary basis and at the end of that temporary period, six or eight months, John doesnt remember what they said due to being so nervous at the time, he will retake the electric part of the hands on test . If he passes the electrical he will then be hired full time permanent at the union wage. So John will have to educate himself during the trial period. He was offered another option as well. The first option was to come a regular full time PE Maintenance Mechanic for 59 days, then re-test. The managers there said that they have let people go who did not pass the second time. Its too hard to absorb all the info in the 59 days and you can't count on the other mechanics to help you. The second option was to come on as temporary maintenance mechanic for a longer time and then retest. John chose the second option. The union is IAM, not teamsters. What do you guys think of this? Have we hit the jackpot? We're quite excited. Anyone have any thoughts? [/QUOTE]
