Local 443 Pennsylvania

So I’ve been trying to join in to 443, I interviewed and did my tests and am now waiting for a call to be sent to a job. It’s been almost 2 months and nothing. I’ve called in multiple times, but still nothing. I have prior experience as a millwright and was told that I’m “definitely going to be hired” and they were eager to bring me on. Seems like work is slow, or maybe the logistics/scheduling side is slacking. This is concerning to me, because if I join in, I don’t want to leave my job now, and end up being laid off for long periods of time. Can anyone give me more input if someone’s in the local? Or in areas surrounding. I’ve heard other people say the same about this local and I wanna make the right choice. Would I be better off applying to Philly or Allentown? Any other options? I’m still learning how the Union differs from the non Union side. Thanks in advance.
