UNION IRONWORKER TRIBUTE

[Thatsallido06]

Great video.  Local 451. Wilm De.

[scottbrown2001]

i;veworked both sides union charges too much and for what gets done by the hour a 6 yr old could hide and do so no offense ill earn my dollar like im suppose to., and save for rainy days as a man should. hats off to ya hands but it aint all about the dollar but the fact everyone aint able

[LLMorse1]

It's not just the ratboys, it's safety. When you got to fill out an explaination of every you do, you are just training them.

When I started in this business (22 yrs) contractors would say, "I'm not running a training school".. Well guess what, me neither.

I might "get out" BUT I WILL ALWAYS RESPECT the work these guys do!

[TroubleMan21C]

Great video, much respect from IW. Local 378, Union Pride Forever!

[Housey65]

I am soo proud to be an ironworker! I had just about lost my love for it all until 9/11 the day the WTC -World Trade Center-came down after being attacked. After all that was said and done EVERY Ironhead from everywhere and all walks of life came to the rescue. You did not have to tell us what to do, we were there johnny on the spot!!! I was an apprentice @ the time, first year, Savannah,GA(Local 709),gotten filled up with so much pride. I am a NYer too...so I wanted to be the best I can be!

[john213581]

Been a union Iromworker since 1979 back then if you could'nt get it you could'nt stay! and I'll be a union Ironworker until the day I die.

I have worked with some of the best men in the world and I'm proud to call them my BROTHERS

[sjoh104041]

Have been a Union Ironworker since 1981. After being Airborne while in the Army. Just needed that adrenaline fix everyday. Being a structural ironworker gave me that. Worked non union for five years before joining the Ironworkers Union. Thought I knew it all. My Union brothers taught me more than I would ever learn on a non union job. Taught apprentice's for six years, made more friends across the country than I can count. Thanks bros. No hate to the non uinon guys. Brotherhood helps us all.

[kev5981]

Dam proud to be a Ironworker!

[tsipoux]

Proud  to be union good job guys, local 842

[boominrick1987]

Local 37 here. Good video

[timray99]

Here's one union that does things right.

No seniorority.

Do your job or you're fired-period.

Apprentices trained in Union schools at Union expense.

All benefits funded out of the paycheck and managed by the Union.

Work smart, work safe, get'er done.

[timray99]

[carnypimp]

I'm proud Local 7703

[kiteport]

Anyone know where I can find these guys? Or ironworkers in NYC that work on dangerous projects? I'm casting for a reality show that is being pitched to a major network. Need these guys or ironworkers like them that lead dangerous lives and also have humor, conflict and drama in their lives. THANKS!

Please contact: ryder.benjamin@yahoo.com

[IRONSEAN7]

UNION PRIDE!!! all the non union rats who go union bashing can remember this!!! You may run around like a madman, trying to showoff to your RAT boss, til you get hurt. And, also, you may be getting a good chunk of change in your check, before you have to take out for your insurance. But as long as you stay RAT-proud, there will be plenty of illegals learning your trade, who will work as hard for $7 an hour, and when he falls and dies, your boss digs a hole,throws em in and finds another!!!!!!!!

[jaysfuckinuts]

@IRONSEAN7 the boss doesn't dig the hole...the next scab does.

[squeakywilllive1]

Local 14 and Damn Proud!

Dude good video, but could you have picked a crappier song?

[notso1971]

[junkgundrunk]

@notso1971 I was talking to a brother Ironworker, not you space cadet. Let me guess good music is the stuff you like right? Where do you get milly vanilly? Did you even check my page before you open you big mouth?

[fordcowboy08]

my dad has been a union ironworker for over 32 years. spent the last 30 with local 86. Put in the paperwork to be an apprentice with local 86 a week after graduation last year. Hopefully work will start to pick up in the future but until it does i am taking welding corses at the college (took 3 years in high school) so i can get my papers.

[xxxdaedlusxxx]

lol@ the silly union bitches talkin shit on youtube. im tickled a bit ty.

[katoomrp]

UNITED WE BARGAIN DIVIDED WE BEG, UNION TILL I DIE

[mgfaxlad]

Fucking unions. Most union workers are fucking dead within a year of retiring as they get worked to the bone while the unions squanders hundreds of millions of their dollars on propping up their own agenda and crooked politicians. The guys go home with about 30% of what it costs to hire them in their pockets. The rest goes to uncle sam and the union coffers. You don't see union bosses driving second had cars.

[1starshi]

You tell them Jay. I am the Proud mother of a Local 395 Ironworker.

[cuff1957]

some of these photos take me back when you could be an ironworker,no beam walkers,no bulky harnesses, no asshole safety people hiding behind columns taking pictures looking to bag someone,it would be great to ride the ball down off the steel,or slide down a column without worrying about getting fired. all just a memory now,take care brothers local 37 providence, rhode island.

[ItsBigJimSlade]

we still slide the columns and now and then ride the ball and once in a while i wear a harness but i never tie off ever fuck that and they dont bother me about it they stay off my back and they stay healthy its an arrangment we have

[Miragegagt]

good vid jay! im a 3rd generation from rochester 33. my uncles are both in the local too.

[brianlu7boston]

Geat vidio. 77ratironworker77. Do't get it messed up. You have no clue about a brotherhood. Your not an ironworker. Keep putting up gas stations and taco bells you rat. God bless union ironworkers and their families.

[jaysfuckinuts]

it's a proven fact that non-union rats have only 15% of the skills of a union ironworker...so it's only fair to pay them 85% LESS.

[union263]

dam could have said it better my self

[1starshi]

You tell him Jay. I am a proud mother of a Local 395 Ironworker.

[77IRONWORKER77]

Givin the contractor half my wages? Im making more money then any of the union foremans I know! Comp.Truck, insurance, beneifits, safety pay, half price boots.Plus get to work O.T. on regular basis 5 or 6 10hour days & Im good. If not I'll take 4 x 10's & do my iron side jobs. I cant get the S.A.union rep. off my nuts for some reason. Somehow he always manages to find my job.I hate it cuz every time he pulls up on the job my handz from the local go run& hide in the hole! Like a bunch of RATS!!!

[sincityskywalker]

Your not an Ironworker!!!

[scottsrfun]

Just remember this scab, if it was not for the union Iron workers you would not be making the money you say you are. which I doubt that you are making that kind of monies. fucking scabs

[Jeff29779]

All you non union rat pricks are givin the contractor half your wages, to those who called us union hands idiots. the jobs are bid the same. or real close, so pay for that prick fishing a boat and I will buy my own!!! whos the idiot? thats why you rats are workin the tin and we hang the big iron!!!! local 29 portland,OR and proud!!!

[77IRONWORKER77]

Check out the idiot union rep. @ Ironworkers union pickets outside of my building. Search it here on youtube. I'd be ashamed to call myself a union hand. There you'll see a true example of a brainwashed union maggot.

[ShockT63]

Unions suck. Overpaid socialist liberals.

[cuff1957]

go fuck your blind mother you scab motherfucker.

[77IRONWORKER77]

Fuck all that rat non sense does the hall dictatorship have yall fooled? Union or not we all live and bare the title IRONWORKER and were proud of it. Its a brotherhood in a life only a few share and no one else can relate to. A rat is a union hand working on a non union jobsite hiding from the union rep.(who couldnt keep him busy) that keeps driving by. Thats a Rat. Thats some funny shit. And Ive seen it happen on more than once. SOUTHTEXAS IRONHEADZ LONE*STAR STATE ERECTORS NON UNION AND PROUD

[sdw1986usa]

Hah, funny to see union putting non union workers and claiming them as their own. The first famous image of the Irish immigrants that worked for peanuts sitting on the beam were not union. Idiots.

[jaysfuckinuts]

maybe you should check YOUR history. the ironworkers union has been around since 1896. this picture was circa 1930's when 85% of American labor was union and New York where this building was located was 99.9% UNION thanks to Irish immigrants' control over local politics.

[HardRockDrumr]

@sdw1986usa You, me and the rest of the Union Boys who have posted here know how you're talking out your ass, punk... Wake up and smell the coffee, kid!
