Thats exactly the comment I was going to make I'm a retired 30 year in the trade Union insulator and I never hung duct. Now let's see what a sheet metal workers work looks like if they did Meta work on the pipes ! They can't touch the union insulators craftsman ship !
So if I’m going to the interview and they as “do you know what an insulator does?” What is the best response? I just feel like saying “insulate piped and install sound, heat and fire barriers, may deal with abspestos.” (I know, I’ll make it sound a lil better then that lol) but I feel like it’s just kinda not a good answer... maybe more info for the answer?
How long is the apprenticeship 20 minutes? Lol. First day on the job they give you a staple gun, steak knife, and a 16ft tape lol. Give me a piece about yay big hahahah.
It’s 4 years, we make over 100K a year and the shit workers are doing in this video even someone as ignorant as you could be taught how to do on your first day. Also the legitimacy of this video is questionable if it’s actually only 10 years old considering wearing a harness while on a scissor lift has been a requirement by law in Canada for at least 20 years
Also, what's with the dude at the end of the video screwing strapping to spiral? Don't tinners do that stuff in Wisconsin? This looks like a video to promote non-union. Take pride in your trade and union. LOCAL 95!
This has to be more difficult than it's being made to appear in the video.
sheet metal worker here, flex duct and hangers on sheet metal pipe is all sheet metal work. Not insulators.
im a heat and frost insulator i do sheet metal work as well as insulation at power plants

@@noahmurray836 correct I'm a retired union insulator out of Vegas local ,but we don't hang duct
I always thought the hvac guys and plumbers did it. I guess this trade exists to create more jobs?
why would hvac do this
Safety harness in a lift? Journeyman insulator here. Pretty sad video

This is not a skilled trade. Why is their even a union for this, and the pay rate for these workers is more than other trades smh.
They deal with abspestos most of the time that’s why. I feel like this video is making it look too easy
Lmao as a first year apprentice yes there is skill to this trade there’s a reason it’s been an organized union since 1918
then go do it then
Brother you guys don’t go gun ho into asbestos 🧐these guys do , this video is pretty much baiting people to signing up
Plus their pay rates are from contractors willing to pay bc no one else wants to do it
This is a terrible video of what the trade actually entails! The last part was the sheet metal trade!!!
