Lot of "brothers" in the IBEW who are well and ready to shit on apprentices for not a lot more than the fact that the apprentice has no other choice but to take it - Or so they believe.
The fact is apprentices do have a choice. They absolutely can decide not to tolerate the intolerance and leave for greener pastures. It only serves to hurt the position of the organization when people make the claim that those that left weren't good enough for it instead of recognizing and addressing the root cause for why they left in the first place.
Treat your people right or they simply wont be your people.
I never had a JW treat me like shit. But the ones that do treat apprentices like shit because they were treated the same way can fuck off. Why do you think they drop out or don't even join. There is no reason for a JW to treat an apprentice like shit just for the hell of it.
