Those guys are humpin!!! I use to tie steel for my dad when I was a teenager, that is a TOUGH job. Looks easy, until you've been doing it ALL DAY for 3 or 4 days in a row, back, shoulders, knees, hands, you name are sore.

Its a flood channel at the old landfill, basically after being shutdown for 20+ years and being a canyon its uprooting the old trash into the city

Last week I started a new apprentice, and he folded up, I had to tell him im shutting you down, because he couldnt hang, and he asked me how do these guys do it? "they are machines" this new apprentice still shows up everyday with a great attitude though!

Non Union could get the same job done for 1/2 the cost and it would be finished ahead of schedule.

Yes I work for CMC, they called me, while I was working for PCS, and told me to quit, been there since, I consider CMC home, they stick me on all channels, some of the hardest labor you can do is rebar on a channel, awesome story while leaving PCS, when I left I got paid 3 1/2 hours when I quit, went to CMC and filled out my paperwork and went to work, I got paid 8 hours in one day with 2 seperate companies

Logic dictates that if union employees were as bad as the non-union guys say, there would be no union contractors left

I really appreciate the guys the see thd real work, instead of thinking we are a bunch of sniviling union guys, there is a reason union ironworkers still man 90% of the jobs, we still work!

It doesn't require wages of $70.00 per hour to tie shit together.
Did you guys fab all the steel or did it get sent out that way by non union fabricators?

 

[djunkie]

Cake? Ya you won't think that on your first lash back. And you have no idea what I really do. It's not all sit with your feet up. Not that anyone here really cares.

I think you should suction cup a Go Pro to your bald head and video a day in the life of Djunkie at the docks so we know.

On a side note, driving the big shit should require union wages like DJ.:thumbsup

Ya non union could do for half the cost cause they don't pay for crap and no benny's and then the money you payed your guys they send back to
Mexico , so if you think that's better then you could go work for walmart

 

[ChumpChange]

Non Union would have thoses lines straight!

Cool stuff, keep postin...

I've posted a couple. No one seemed to care so I won't waste my time again.

 

[Moody]

Are your guys required to tie so many feet per hour? How do you motivate them to tie faster?
A job like that you could really use this.....

 

[Vmjtc3]

Simple, if they don't keep up, send them back to the hall until you get people who can and will keep up. Its usually not a problem tho :thumbsup

Funny part is when CMC came in and took over, and this is a huge corp. They shut down the non union side, the big money is with the union side, if they didnt have it, well they wouldnt sell for shit in iron, so we break our backs to keep this thing going, and have pride while doing it. If I wasnt proud of what my guys were doing why would I post it? If you feel like we are a burden, and taking all these breaks, then by all means join us, see if you can hack it...$70.00 an hour fuck I wish..I think my total package is around $56.00 an hour, and we dont see all of that on the.check, if by all means you think were over payed try to work with a rodbuster...

Nonunion couldn't come up with the manpower

They never could, they took one dude and put him in the union, he couldnt hang. He no longer works for us

Thats the real deal as far as labor goes. You boys are no joke.

Anything steel related is lumped into the critical path of the project. You guys slack and the whole job goes to shit real quick.

Keep the updates coming. Thats a cool project.

 

[djunkie]

Dam non union guys job to make this shit and he can't even handle that. Had to make it on my own. LOL

 

[djunkie]

It's a tough job. MNF. LOL

 

[Joe mama]

Those non union guy's can do it for half the price. The problem is it takes them three times to get it right.

But the state still gets it for a fraction of the cost and the gc still makes money.:thumbsup

View attachment 226997

No, we never require tie wire/ feet per hour, we do however require tonnage, meaning there is a certain weight per man day...this is mostly how jobs are bit for rodbusters

Simple, if they don't keep up, send them back to the hall until you get people who can and will keep up. Its usually not a problem tho :thumbsup

This is true, and im a firm believer that I will not hold a mans job over his head, so I never threaten a man, but a wrong perception of union, if a guy isnt hacking it, I can have his 2 checks delivered to the job site...my guys basically kill themselves for me...it all starts with me treating them,like their humans

I would love to keep the updates coming, but im on union,negotiated wages, I would love to set up some go-pros and do a time laps, honestly the only reason I even,have pictures is because corporate asked for them, otherwise, even though im in charge, I am side by side with,my guys
