  most people in trades are conservative, and mostly white people, with a side of hispanic groups. people wonder why more arnt going into the trades, likely they arnt hiring people outside of that political demographic.

    I’ve been a scientific monitor for construction projects and they will tolerate you, but you will mostly be excluded. I of course as bearded man from the South had an easier time than some of the younger women that were my coworkers.

    Honestly the drama on a construction site is peak. These grown men are so petty and cliquey

      Female 15 year elevator mechanic here and I agree it’s like none of the matured past middle school. I have so many crazy, funny and sad stories. It’s like lord of the flies but dumber. I’m in school for an MA in industrial design so I can pivot out of the clan in the field

    It’s because when women and black people meet all the criteria and are begrudgingly allowed in that’s when the haze out circus begins. In my union in a dark blue state Union officers were putting nooses and writing kkk on a group of black men’s thinks to the point they had to file a police report. And the state didn’t do a damn thing. courthousenews.com/mitsubishi-accused-of-ignoring…

    Yeah, I’m a straight married bearded husky white guy who has taken up carpentry as a hobby, and I have no interest in being part of that industry. I have a relative who is a trumper plumber and the culture fits him perfectly, lol.
