I would probably not do it if my wife was not off for the next year on Mat leave…

I will still be on "the list" with my contracting company so if sh!t ever hits the fan (layoff) from maintenance gig then I still have my spot in the construction company. I will just be turning down their offers for the next 1-2 years minimum.

As much as I love construction and the pay we get (cause it is probably 15-20% more per hour but you are not working all year so it's a hard choice) I will be happy to not be going all over the province and not knowing when or where my next job/paycheque is coming from…...

Long story... Here is a very small taste.

Transfers will be available (probably) when the shìt hits the fan. Oshawa was/is the dumping ground for all the displaced GM employees. St.Therese closed, Scarborough van plant closed, half the work force from Oshawa Truck plant, St.Catherines components plant, people from when London Diesel closed, some CAMI people they are all in Oshawa starting from the bottom again.

Sure CAMI is busy, but they have two more factories building the same product. They could close the doors there at any time. They did it to the Oshawa Truck plant. That truck plant was their most productive, highest quality, most profitable plant in the entire corporation...

If any of your job options are in an industry other than automotive, I would seriously look at that.
