Ironworkers local 751 Anchorage Alaska. The toughest local their is.

Greg2ha · « **Reply #46 on:** Nov 03, 2011, 09:06 PM »

I tried to get into the ironworkers twice but didn't make it. I went to Hobart for welding also so I thought that would help but it didn't. I did however get into Plumbers & Steamfitters local 166. I am a firm believer that
every thing happens for a reason. I'm happy where I'm at but but have alot of respect for ironworkers
and other tradesmen.

Jigginstick how long you got 'till you give it up ? maybe 7 more. We take a 3% hit per year on our pension before age 62, so as long as I can put up with the apprentices I will hang on.

25 years in Local 150 Operating Engineers. The only water my boat has seen this year has been the rain drops hitting the cover. I'm glad I'm working but it's been a long season, looking forward to some hard water action soon! My son is a second year member of Local 103 Operators.
