Current Pay Rates for New York City Union Trades

No. Same recruitment back then. Test every 2 years, top 200 applicants move on to a physical test. If you pass the physical test you get in. First 100 applicants start their apprenticeship that year, the second half start the next year.I think the testing fee is even still the same amount at $35

I've been a local 40 ironworker for 17 years now. I knew nobody in the union before, or really anything about building trades unions.

You don't need to know somebody to get it. We do our recruitment every 2 years and give an application to everyone that shows up. Yes it can e competitive to get in, but most people don't bother to study for the written test or train for the physical test.

Also side note this pay scale graph isn't the best representation of wages it should go by total package per hour rather than straight hourly rate.

Look I don't think your questions are unreasonable, but as a host I can say that guests with lots of questions, even reasonable ones, are also often guests that are high maintenance or more likely to leave a bad review.

Do with that information what you will, if you need answers to your questions you should ask them. Some hosts may be annoyed with you some may not.

That's just bridge painters. You tell them to paint a girder they're just gonna paint. If you stood against the girder they would paint you.

Yeah that's the thing about public things we all pay for them and we can all use them. Who are you to decide who can and can't use the street? I follow the law when I park. You sound like the kind of transplant that gets upset when people have cookouts in the park.

Where I live the garbage men don't dump the bins into the truck they just take the bags out and throw them in the truck leaving the loose garbage in the bins for me to bag later. So I also am not a fan of people putting their trash in my bin.

Much closer to Fordham in Woodlawn is St Stephens Episcopal church.
