  • My hubby loves the new accessory for hard hats everyone shoud have one to ists called Safe-Mate. it stops it from ever falling of without a chin strap.

  • Just dont forget everything union's have done for your working conditions and how hard union brothers fought to better them. Remember that greed is a nasty thing and corprate america will take it all back the second you let them. We need unions they are America, do yourself a favor and organize.

  • Taking pride in your work is something you do since you are born it doesn't just happen when you get paid more.

  • For all the guys that are saying union this and union that, I just wanna say that yes unions are good but they can also be really bad. Take a look at GM, unions destroyed a once great car company. Sometimes they can over glorify a very simple job. I'm not knockin any trade, im a non-union industrial electrician just out of philly, i'm just sayin that people should stop lookin at it as Union and Non-Union and just employed people tryin to make money.

  • non-union scab workers r the most unskilled workers around... they have no idea what theyre doing... they dont have the proper training... u should really go union... i worked as a scab before... but went union... best decision of my life... u live better... and make more money than those bullshit non-union scab wages

  • non-onion wokers are not the most unskilled workers around. Yes there are some just like there are slow people in school but its just biased to say everyone is. There are plenty of unskilled union workers too. Just the Union is aloud to make them sit the bench forever. But I have seen some butched up pipe come out of union work.

  • majority r... i had to completely demo out a whole building and redo the duct runs... because these scabs undersized everything... butchered their duct... and everything leaked like crazy... nah we get put through 5 years of school, theres no way our brothers can be unskilled... our brothers dont sit on the bench forever... most ull way on the outta work list is a couple weeks... and ur union rep finds u a job... live better, work union... believe me man, ull make twice as much money

  • It's nice to see a cable tv show covering UNION construction trades... We're paid right cause we do it right! It'd be nice to see an episode covering Structural Ironworkers.

  • I'm pro union for the trades, but I just can't get into L.A style construction. It just seem to laid back to the NYC scene with nothing but skyscrapers and noise around you..

  • well this midrise really isnt that spectacular...but they are other buildings that are under construction in LA that are way more impressive. Im not sure why they would pick this one...maybe its just good PR.

  • nice cans

  • this sucks!!

  • UA LOCAL 582 ORANGE COUNTY, CA

    finnally boys we get some recognition, plumbers/steamfitters makes the world go round! be safe brothers!

    union till i die!

  • *yawn

  • Yeah...know the feeling. I thought my job was boring till I saw this. lol.

  • i will never want to be him, never, even making 1million per hour!!! the moment i saw that blueprint and pipe, my head just popped....

  • Nice its a suggestive title

  • we need to build things liek that were there are no earth quakes

  • youtube haarp

  • "It's called: Evil!" Ha! ha!

  • Wow, our econ0omy is going down the toilet and this is what we do?

    Now, THIS is why we think Bush is trying to make a New World Order.

  • couldnt have said it better =)

  • America has the worlds greatest pipe liner uppers in the world. You guys smoke at lining up pipe. What more can one say.

  • hehe nice one...

    a plumber friend of mine has a t-shirt saying

    "plumbers lay good pipe" and has a pic of one of those little pipes under it

  • That America's dollar value is going down the shitter=D.

  • Our Aussie dollar nearly same value as your US dollar. Makes us happy as we go overseas on holiday. Look at the bright side. Become an Australian

  • At one point the value was higher than the Aussie dollar.

    We are slaves to China.

  • Australian dollar was once higher than US but that was before deregulation of the Australian currency way back in late 70's or early 80's. Now I can afford overseas holidays again. So cool. So there is a postive to this.

  • For you Aussies.

    More and more Americans are having to delay their trips overseas or even across the state due to gas prices or the suffering value of the American dollar.

  • Lets face is we all in the west have our short sighted governments and their globalisation carefree attitudes + the fact they are all owned to big oil to thank. We had better lifestyles and less stress back a couple of decades and gradually those in power forgot about those below. Its sad but we shouldnt have to work like Mexicans/Chinese (in our case) and drive fuel guzzling monsters while alterative power sources for cars are bought off by big oil.

  • Let me think who can move in here. The rich..

  • Yeap

  • you are non of them i guess.........you talk like a pure loser, why dotn you stop blaming and do something for your life ? :)

  • shit must be hard to make... humans baffle me.

  • we know we do mr monkey

  • Cool stuff. Makes me want to think if i should be an architect but all that exact measuring would scare me

  • They were plumbers you saw laying down the pipes and reading the blue prints not Architect. XD

  • The title of this sounds like a gay porn.. thank God it wasn't =]

  • what a dirty mind u have dude lol

  • Stuff like this absolutely boggles my mind. That the human mind can come up with stuff like this and turn it into a reality is incredible.

  • the brains behind this is God himself.

  • No! It was the FSM!!

  • i cant really relate to this video since im a pipe layer not a puller

  • woah thats rlly cool!!!!!
