What the October 27 board is calling
The first line of the outlook matches the live count: 59 open across 30 calls. The highest successful scrape in the last 30 days was 94, so the number to use today is the smaller live count. The journeyman lines add to 59. The same outlook also prints construction-wireman, construction-electrician, and teledata lines. Those headcounts stay on the lines where the hall printed them. They are not added on top of the 59.
Fisk Electric wants 10 JW at the new pediatric campus, UT Southwestern and Children's Hospital, Dallas. The schedule is 5-8s with a 6:00 a.m. start and scattered overtime. Pay is scale. Fisk also wants 8 JW at Cook Children's Medical Center in Fort Worth, 5-8s, 6:00 a.m., scale. Morley Moss wants 7 JW at QTS Lancaster on 4-12s plus an 8, 5:00 a.m. start, scale. Alman wants 6 JW at the Databank campus in Red Oak, 5-10s with scattered overtime, 5:00 a.m. start, scale.
The largest construction classification line is Morley Moss, 20 CW/CE at Stack in Lancaster, 4-10s and 2-8s, 6:00 a.m., from mid-level CW to high-level CE, at scale. Morley Moss also wants 11 CW/CE at QTS Lancaster on 4-12s plus an 8, 5:00 a.m. The other 20-odd calls are smaller: DFW Airport, Lockheed Martin in Grand Prairie, the Army Reserve base in Seagoville, and one journeyman at Comanche Peak in Glen Rose. Use the live Local 20 page for the full list.
The logistics note at the bottom of the outlook says two jobs are upcoming. Six Flags in Arlington is hiring 2 JW for maintenance, and the hall points that application at the Six Flags careers page. Comanche Peak calls for a May outage need an extensive background check. The note describes pre-outage 4-10s, rolling 6-12s from a May 2 outage start, then about 20 calls at 4-10s for 8 weeks before an October outage. The board labels both of those upcoming. It does not print the year.
Weekly gross pay on Local 20 scale
Scale is $40.65/hr. The Fisk pediatric call is a 40-hour week, so the gross is straight time. The QTS and Stack schedules run past 40 hours. The outlook says "scattered overtime" on some lines and does not print a time-and-a-half or double-time rule on any of them. Those extra hours are left out of the dollars.
| Call | Rate | Hours | Straight time | Overtime | Estimated weekly gross |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Scale, including the Fisk pediatric 5-8s | $40.65 | 40 | $1,626.00 | not printed | $1,626.00 |
Health and welfare is not in the $1,626. Taxes, dues, and lodging are not deducted. No per diem amount is printed on any of the 30 calls.

Texas license and the Grand Prairie hall
Texas licenses journeyman electricians through the Department of Licensing and Regulation. The out-of-state page lists journeyman reciprocity with Alabama, Alaska, Arkansas, Idaho, Iowa, Nebraska, New Mexico, Oklahoma, South Dakota, and Wyoming. The journeyman path on that page requires the other state's exam, at least one year on that license, and at least 8,000 hours under a master electrician. The journeyman renewal page is the renewal route for a card you already hold. The longer Texas writeup is the TDLR and data center guide.
The hall address on ibew20.org matches the address on file: 684 West Tarrant Road, Grand Prairie, TX 75050. Office: 972-263-1122. The October 27 outlook does not print a walk-in Book 2 window. Book 1 is 63, which is longer than the 59 posted positions. Book 2 is 5. If this is a first hitch, read how to travel IBEW Book 2 and confirm the sign-in with the hall before you roll.
