My father was a iron worker from when I was born to when he retired, and I never knew the weight of his job, I respect him even more than I already did for not even complaining or boast about it
My neighbor is a Crane Operator for over 35 years in NYC. He always gives the respect to Ironworkers that they deserve and he shares many stories about his work and the Iron workers.
Union Iron Workers are at the top of the skilled trade food chain. I'm a Millwright, my father was an Iron Worker in Northern Minnesota. I am amazed how he could do that job. AND LOVE IT!
Hell yeah. I have a great respect for millwrights and ironworkers. I have recruited a lot for different jobs and theyre some of the best guys i ever met.
Ah....my union brothers. A good union job has structure, content, meaning and power in the form of economic and education.We trade our health to feed ourselves and family and extended family at time. Be safe. Retired welder/fitter. Man I miss it.
Much love and respect to them there Rod Busters, from IUOE local 302 Tower Hands up in Seattle! I am a tower crane operator from The Pacific Northwest and I got nothing but respect for these men! We work side-by-side and sincerely proud of it! Union strong!!
Anyone who has visited or lived in a skyscraper should appreciate the hard work of the Iron Workers, without whom we would have none of these modern buildings marvels.
This truly is a VERY HARD job. It's not for everyone, you have to want it. I've done it for 2 weeks now and I'm calling it quits. I'm all for work and out doors labor. But this, this is a whole new level of labor. I have a lot of respect for those that do this job. Keep on keeping and build america. thanks 416 for the great opportunity. I wish I could do this but it's not for me, I'll step out of the way and let someone that CAN do it take my place.
What did you find particularly hard about it? I’m asking because I’m currently working in carpentry/framing, but I am considering joining the iron workers local 433.
Meanwhile, many "workers" today complain about not having low-fat milk for their latte, provided at their office. Much respect to these men. We’re lucky to have them.
I don't think you actually know anything about millennial men, because the only millennials that care about that are women. But, whatever you say boomer.
@@Deezuzjohn Buildings, infrastructure are one aspect of society, entertainment, leisure time is another aspect, conspicuous consumption, consumer habits are another.....it's a correct statement.
I only respect "THEM" who can respect their honor as they do this hard work. Just because a man does a hard job, don't give him the right to just automatically get respect. Gotta earn it by being a good man at the same time.
so grateful i watched this video now i know what I want to do with my future. I have a lot of respect for these men. I was a carpenter and now I currently install and assemble countertops that lifting can wear you out.
I worked on two nuclear power plants busting rods. Until you put a 60 ft # 18 rod on your legs, along with the rest of the crew and climb that wall 50 feet and tie off. You have not experienced how hard this job can be. I was about 28 years old at the time and strong as an ox. I loved tieing steel and damn good at it. I could do about 30 snap ties in under a minute on a good day. Very rewarding job and usually working with a great crew. If you did not pull your weight on the crew, you did not stay on that crew. One more thing. If you did not pack a good lunch, you could not make it to the end of the day.
if yall had to climb with a #18 either your forman fucked up or something.....anything that big you pretie and set......but i know how them powerplant jobs are 2...i was a rodbuster for 12 yrs till a tower crane operater didnt listen to me and crushed me with a budle of #9s
Retired now, worked on Disney parking lot, UCLA soccer Field/parking lot, Sky Harbor Airport and so many more. Fontana steel, Cal State Rebar. Hard life Hard job

These guys work hard. I see alot of people saying this is the hardest trade. It is not. Refractory tear out is. And relining. Tieing bar is hard ive done it. But running a 90lb jack hammer in a furnace thats still 130 degrees for 3 days just to shotcrete it or lay brick inside it is by far the hardest job there is. Ive done both.
I did refractory work in my early 20's. you are absolutely right. spent my life in the union trades, ended up a electrician. my younger brother worked with me for a contractor out of Kansas City and other ones on the iron range of Minnesota. gives me the Willys to think how hard we worked.

u can say that i was unload a truck of beam iron for a parking deck didnt have a lifiting beam, went to pick up a bundle that has2 25ft bundle of #9 in each end of 5 60ft #9 so i knew it was goona fold to a u shape......* we where on the 5th floor so everyone knew what was going on i put the chokers on told him to wait and let me get off the truck but he tried to rush me by bumping up on the load and the end came up swung...pinched me between the bundle on the crane and one on the truck then he freaked out and sat all of it down on my legs and wouldnt move it my lead and the truck driver had to pry me out once i was out he came up on it and held it above everyone and it was rigged the best i could without a lifting beam.....
I worked as a lathers laborer in NYC in the eighties, this was tough work and then there are the heights, no body harnesses then you just had to do the work, the money was good for a working man but the lathers are skilled workers, some of the lathers were American Indian, they were the best to work with - professional, if you got injured of course things could be different. I left it to go work for Dellwood daries in Westchester county, I was making $18+ an hour working on the steel and got $5 an hour working in the lab!
My husband is carpenters Union Local 13 he is no longer on this earth RIP I did Contometer Course in Merchantdise Mart 8 th floor also keypunch in same classroom my first job Marshall Fields State Street balancing registers Xmas 1964
I could wear out a pair of Klein nines in about a month. When your pliers start losing their grip and you keep hitting yourself in the chest, time to buy a new pair. First thing you learn to do is heat up the pliers and bend the bottom handle to pulling grip. Learn to tie #9 wire will also wear your hands out. Still a great job and I loved it.
I really respect and appreciate you iron workers. Military and Iron worker's are the best. Thank you. But. How often do tools get dropped? And do you carry spare tools? Cause i just can't see being up 100 stories and have to climb all the way down and climb all the way back up for a dropped wrench.

That really depends on the company, its the company that sets the pay. The company im with is 18 to 22 an hour depending on experience. Im only entry level so im getting 18 an hour. Some construction companies start at 20 an hour for entry level, but the hours can be long, i work 11 hour or more shifts, depending on if we get our assigned tasks for the day, done on time. I've even worked 14 hour shifts for a week straight just to get our tasks done everyday.

One of the toughest jobs out there, and I am an Inspector, Welding and concrete.
Do all ironworkers have to do structural and climb on the I beams? Or can you choose if you just wanna do the reinforcement/ rod busting?
In southern California there are two iron worker locals - 416 for Rod Busters and 433 for Structural - you can also just do welding if you are in 433.
They train you in all aspects of the trade.you will learn it all.then it depends on what company you work for

This is my "profession " rodbuster. for 25 years 💪and now I am working for my own. Got rebar?
What i remember someone fell off the bulding i belive 3 years ago .that his body landed in a car. Sad story. But props to those guys.
It was a suicide, he jumped.
I'm ironworker but in European country, Ironworkers here are heavily underestimated and I hate it. Like worst working class... And I wonder now why kiddos on YT/insta/tiktok make more money on stupid irrelevant things, rather than us, hardworkers making this world from nothing to something amazing and useful for millions of people...
These are some brave gentlemen. No thank you for $42/hr. I’m a local 9 electrician making $53/he as a journeyman.
Yea but your pensions and annuities if u even have one is a joke..
Says who Trey Dewitt? I get a pension, matched 401k (up to 5%), great health benefits, and I can’t get laid off.
Every Union has it's pros and cons. Being a Ironworker comes with extreme pride!! You can stand back and say I did that in 8 hrs. I'm sorry brother but I've seen sparkys work it's pretty sad, not much to talk about. But hopefully you are still doing well.
