Whats happening with youngsters

[GMES]

Firstly hello guys, it's been a while since I posted or did any staffing but work is crazy which is leaving very little time for anything else, which leads nicely into the reason for this thread.
What's happening with the young electricians of today. They either seem to want the earth and its mother or seem really uninterested, I've been trying to get someone to help us out and its bloody hard work . I've been in talks with a young spark who 7 days ago all but said he wanted to come to us and wasn't happy where he was, I know the lad and offered him an immediate start but he's proving hard work to sort a start date.
Then another lad two weeks ago rang me asking for work to essentially finish his nvq portfolio so I offered him some work immediately only for me to chase him 2 days later where he said I've got a job so no thanks.
I'm not going to paint all youngsters the same but the ones I'm encountering lately leave a lot to be desired, the first question seems to be , how much will I earn, what other perks are there, do I get a van etc etc surely the 1st question should be asking about their duties

Hopefully so yes.

Well from my experience within the TU anybody who is a member of a Union, who was or gas been subjected to bullying in any form would be looked after very well, and I have experienced this duing my time as a TU Rep.

I’m a union member I believe especially on bigger sites they are better. A voice for the boys.

Pete is right about being with One mentor. I was put with one sparks and eventually worked well as a team. As an apprentice I had to think like him, anticipate what tool he would require and he would just stick his hand out lol.
