Default May be getting laid off... anyone got a job for me?

Well I have been having a grand old time over at AT&T for the past 6 months but I think it might be coming to an end soon. They are having a lay off of about 250 people in Illinois and I think I am one of them.

I am a Journeyman in the IBEW Local 21 so I am very good with electrical work. I have experience in retail, bar-backing/restaurant service, great with computers, delivery driver, and a couple other things. I can work most simple heavy machinery like forklifts and power jacks.

Anybody got anything for me? Lemme know.

Isn't it part of your locals responability to place you with another company? are there that many journey men laid off in 21? Im a 701 dupage county electrician, (commercial) and very few commercial guys laid off. Alot of residential are though. If i got laid off i doubt it would be more then a week the things are moving.


Good luck, Chris
