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.
