I have been a carpenter for CTA for almost 35 years at Skokie Shop and a foreperson for over 20 of those years now. We have many great women who work here. Working hard in the various craft trades as electricians. carpenters, machinists, plumbers, welders, and more. As I stated in the video, we are a “family” of craft workers at Skokie Shop, and we all take pride in the work we do helping to move all the great people of Chicago from place to place each and every day!
Hi John! I work for a company that recently purchased a CTA 2400 Series railcar and I would be very interested in chatting with you if you have time and would be interested.
I love seeing stuff like this. Many don't know the work people do to keep the city running.
Wish they would Actually Hire people instead of turning them away Am going to a CTA Hiring event on the 28th.
This is awesome!
I wonder if they also volunteer to inspect and repair vintage Chicago L cars in museums. If they do, they are truly professional!
How do I apply for this position and do you need experience
Just men work there?
What difference does it make? Not everything revolves around women.
@@quincexl1279 you wouldn't be here without one
@@everycoLor_312 no. Not just men work there
Sounds like a loaded question, I would assume that if women did work in this field, most would be logistical work. now if you're wondering if they have women in a particular trade "say engineer" it would sound less like a loaded question.
I worked in Skokie shop for about 4 years. I’ve seen female electricians, sheet metal workers, & sub-classification of machinist. At other shops in CTA I’ve seen female Electrical Lineworkers, Signal Maintainers, Car repairers, painters, and pipefitters. The culture is surprisingly accommodating to the female tradeswomen. Guys don’t act like it’s the 1960s around the women. Glad at least some progress is being made in that regard.
