Whatever happened to the Electricians that drove the bucket trucks? I never see them around anymore.

Seen one depressed looking operator in his truck and a recent arrival immigrant that recently hired on.
Oh well! Give me my retroactive pay and I will go away quick
The few who are still here are DRASTICALLY overloaded. Where I am its NOT a good place to contract this kinda work out, the contractors dont like working around the yards and keep raising their rates.
They layed off the Herrington,Kansas guy , part of psr budget cuts.
I seen only 1 recently at LATC in Lost Angeles
There’s still a few electricians left but not many. A lot of them left after being furloughed during PSR which I don’t blame them for that. The few left are always under the radar and 95% of their work gets subcontracted out. I would imagine in time ALL or most maintenance craft will be eliminated but who knows.
There's a few still around, not many though.
I believe most or all of the electrician jobs were abolished. I haven't seen an electrician since mid 2019.
