DAY IN THE LIFE OF A NYC CONSTRUCTION WORKER FINALLY

Should go for electrician 🤨

Thanks for the series brother, all very informative.

Rubin! What's up. Question... wasn't sure if I heard wrong but I heard carpenters get vacation checks every 3 months. Can you explain what can you do with the money or do you have to put it away in some sort of annuity or pension thing ? Or can you just use it for whatever you want ?

Ruben whats up brother hope u remember me i got into the carpenters union all thanks to you, question for you. What do you think about the future of union here in nyc because most of the construction in the city right now are non union

@BIN so I just found your video based off my interest in the Local 79 I have a few questions how would I go about applying when the time comes and applications open , also does this local do random drug testing (silly question lol) , what are your thoughts commute wise I reside on Long Island and was wondering what would be my best option on travel, and final question what does a 1st year apprentice pay Look like. Thank you I would appreciate if you could get back to me

any tips for local 79 interview? And what to expect as a 79 worker

How to join local 282 teamsters union

Might I add helmets to hardhats for direct entry for anybody with a military background. I got into UA local 1 with that program. Called them up first week of January. Went to orientation 2 weeks later and just started work a week ago. The local NYC reps are the best. They can set you up with any union real quick.

Thank You 🙏 soooo much.
This was so informative.
I wish they taught this stuff in high school 🏫 you are awesome 👏

Your company looking for guys ? Out of work local 926

When you join one union can you change unions ?

Good looking out for the info Ruben. What’s your opinion on nyc Local 28 sheet metal union?

Hey bro you’re doing the building trades a solid here speaking out and dealing it like it is. I’m in Michigan Local 514 Cement Masons. Been thinking a lot about my trade as a concrete finisher. I’m 24 years old/ 1st year apprentice. You know anything about the concrete scene out in NY? Is this a trade worth sticking around? Benefits are solid. Feeling like I should dabble and try different things for these next five years or so. What do you think? Yes, yes it’s my choice but all perspectives are appreciated! Thanks for reading this anyway bro

Very important to me to watch your videos because I’m getting my osha 30 & 10 plus flagging & scaffolding all for free . I want to go for flagging is all this still applicable

Hey pal,


I am Barbender and fixer by trade. What it is called in USA?

I have searched in Google but could not find out about it.I want to take courses related to Barbending in USA or skills acknowledging course so that I can transfer my 7+ experiences , do you have any suggestions?

And how much they make in USA on an average?

Thank you for putting me onto building work! currently on day 2 of the program. Blessings brother 🙏

sup my man, im a carpenter in the union, i transitioned to the drywall framing/ceiling/metal stud framing etc. side. Just curious on how your day to day work load looks like as a journeyman working in NYC. What are you currently working on? if you dont mind sharing

Thank you for the information. I got a question, once you finish the building works program are you directly entered into the apprenticeship program?
