I am in the 'United Auto Workers' union and I work in the shop at Masoneilan. Its a huge company that makes valves for pipelines, refineries, nasa, gas stations etc. I sit at a computer, do some paperwork, put workorder packages together, staple a bunch of stuff and I run a small engraving machine to engrage the serial numbers and other information for each valve onto small metal tags that they pin or tie to each valve before its shipped.

I work at a sign shop. We do all kinds of shit...aluminum street signs, window lettering, vehicle/truck lettering, business signs, real estate signs...you name it we make it (unless it's neon or wood-carved). The last biggest sign we made was on 20'w x 5'h lexan (which is basically indestructible plexiglas) for a light-box. We also do all kinds of banners and shit like that.

I am a field technician with Offshore Joint Serivices. I work on pipe lay barges applying Hight Density Polyurethane Foam around the weld. I protects the weld as it goes off of the back end of the barge and into the water. We set up and maintain an injection system for two chemicals that combine to make the foam. We train laborers to do the job and then we supervise. We are also responsible for all correspondense between our company, the client, and the contractor (dpr's, incident reports, time sheets, etc.). We are underpaid as fuck!

I'm a wallpaper hanger. Self-employed subcontractor. Fairly stress free, until tax time... then it hits you in the face so hard that you're getting fucked by the government and penalized for being an entrepenuer(I can't spell).

I'm a union sheet metal worker...but about 8 years ago my hand got jacked up in a machine so they retrained me in the office. I do shop drawings on autocad of hvac ventilation and piping systems. I basically take the engineers cartoons and coordinate them with other trades to make installation drawings. Work mostly on hospitals it seems, but have done airports, theatres, schools, ice rinks and high rises.

i do contract design and programming.

jason, i'm curious... which pays better, the actual metal work, or the autocad position?





If I fail math, there goes my chance at a good job and a happy life full of hard work.

In Chicago sheet metal draftsmen have to be members of the union so I'm still getting scale. No other trade in the area has union draftsmen.

I too am a draughtsman. Mainly industrial piping, some HVAC. Right now we're laying a pipeline in New Brunswick. We also do a lot of work in the pulp mills around the Maritimes down into Maine and New Hampshire.



Well, its this place where nobody works, and the pigs don\'t give you any shit. Everyone smokes weed and gets drunk all day. Its a place where cunts like me and you can truly take it easy and relax. Know what I mean?
