Has anyone applied to Local 52 recently? As in September 2015. . .
Local 52 is a studio mechanics local, this is mainly a theater forum so your chances of hearing back on this are limited.

We're all stagehands.
And you might be surprised at how many Local 52 folks have never been inside a theater (and never will be). The construction carpenters frequently come from the trades. Dressers have probably never worked props on a show. Grips ?, maybe have moved some stage scenery around.
Possibly only the electricians have done some theater work and I know that two of the IA52 folks who have contributed here, Kelly Britt and Ted Reid both have theater backgrounds, but those are the only folks I can recall hanging around the CB hallways.
Steve may have not given you the answer you wanted, but it was helpful and informative. Being snarky to someone who is well known and liked in the community here and has 3,200 more posts than you do won't help you get the answer you are looking for.That's wonderful. Thank you for the insight. But you need only reply if you can answer my simple, humble question.
And that is definitely not a good attitude to have towards a senior member of the site. Saying sorry would be much better than a second snarky reply. Like @gafftaper said, this isn't just another site on the internet. It is a far-reaching community of professionals. Continuing to talk the way you are will only hurt you and your ability to get hired. You never know who is reading your posts here whether they are a member or not.ANYWAY
ANYWAY
Thanks lextech. I've been in touch with them and I take the test in January. There's lots of cross-pollination around here as well and it looks like I'm about to have 2 cards myself, so that's good to hear.
