The union does have many bennifits, you will definitely learn alot and meet many interesting characters. Take full advantage of the extra education they offer. I learned how to weld, rig heavy equiptment,signal cranes, braze medical gas piping and the list keeps going. Good luck

apptc w/2nd wk in lcl union/wow

i just finished my second week of work with one of our local union contractors on a large resort complex in a mountain town. i'm a two year apprentice but had never work on something of this scale before. holy &$^# is all i have to say. i thought i knew some stuff and being there i realized real quick that i know nothing. very frustrating. i'm learning a ton already and working with all these individuals has me excited about what awaits me in the future. i will say one thing, on breaks and lunch i get to hear some of the craziest stories from these lifetime unioners. everyday is a challenge and i can see that drive getting old everyday but i think i'm in it for the long haul. and i think i'll love it.

Not Just The Projects

Compared to working in smalll shops you will get the opportunity to work with different mechanics with varied skills and experience.Over time you can learn a great deal from them!

Piping Is...

... a HUGE field. Nobody knows everything - there's just too much. There's always more to learn. Check out the shots of this refinery construction project in India. Imagine how many miles of pipe there are.
