Joshtruction Posted December 10, 2005 Report Share Posted December 10, 2005 I have a part time fabrication business if that means anything to you. No fancy union for me!!!!! P.S. get me a union job! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
banshee04le Posted December 10, 2005 Report Share Posted December 10, 2005 I'm not an ironworker but I walk the iron a couple times a week on service calls, doing on-site repairs of inverters, innershield feeders and all makes and models of arc welding and studwelding equipment and generators. You guys keep me busy. I've walked the iron (well decking anyway, I try to stay off of the beams ) on bridges, stadium jobs, powerplants, refineries...you name it. While your on one jobsite for a couple months I might see 50 of them. Thats the best part about my job, every day is different. Oh, I service a lot of fab shops too.

dnhyoung Posted December 17, 2005 Report Share Posted December 17, 2005 Well, I've been in the union for almost 10 years now, and I have only had about 6 months off. I have currently been with the shop that I am at now for almost 5 years, and the only time that I get off is the time that I request.

sandman Posted December 18, 2005 Report Share Posted December 18, 2005 Another union electrician here (seems to be a lot of us). IBEW Local 76 Tacoma, Wa. I'm Broke Every Winter Not this winter though as I've been with the same shop for 2 .5 years now. Very thankful for that because work as a whole is very slow right now.
