if your a supermarket guy they have a hussman office you can fournier refrigeration they do supermakrets. You have a couple of other refrigeration places in town just google ac companies ,avoid b@g refrigeration they really dont do that much refrigeration i use to work their you will find yourself in the ghetto working on apartment units plus they like to call you every 5 min are you done yet/ their are better companies You can try northeastfloridabuildersassociation website search membership directroy and scroll down to a/c supplies/refrigeration those companies also participiate in journey men program plus they have about 40 contractors, a few are refrigeation but mainly air conditioning.Dont try the local 234 they have about 230 people on the bench the secretary told me that, hope this helps

Well according to the secretary their she said 200 or 230 were on the bench this is what i was told i could have swore she said that. She also told me that they havent accepted any apprentices in 2yrs and their opening up this year but last year people will have first choice this year.It may not be true but i called about 3weeks ago and this is what i heard/ i think it must be bad when they havent took apprentices in 2yrs plus my one of buddys knows a guy at ww gay he said they were slow.Now she may have ment the pipefitters and the hvac guys idont know i just asked about ac

Job market is ok i guess? I was on the market a couple of months ago, i accepted a offer from a national commercial maintenace company.

I didnt really explore too many of the local companys (i did get a invite from one of the members on here to check his company out and another company in georgia) since i got this offer about 2 weeks after i was unemployed.

Wow that must be one big bench, I bet it is made of iron and by union iron workers no doubt.

I had heard the same thing about the local 234.

Heard there were guys working for union companies for over a year but the union still wouldnt let em in!
