Can I Get in the Union?
Ironworkers Local #5 would like to see every Ironworker be a Union Ironworker. If that were the case every hard working Ironworker would receive the benefits they deserve. Every Ironworker (union or non-union) should benefit from a good wage, health coverage, and pension! That is what the union represents!
How does the experienced Ironworker become a member of Ironworkers Local #5? Put together your work history, paystubs, w-2 forms, letters from employers, certifications, anything that verifies your experience. Once this is compiled you should contact Ironworkers Local #5 Organizer, Eddie Hardesty for an interview and application. This is your opportunity to emphasize your skills, so come prepared. Your interview and work history will be analyzed and a determination of your experience level will be set. You will be rated as a Journeymen or a Rated Apprentice.
Many factors go into when a new organized Ironworker will be placed to work. First and foremost, is there work available to send a probationary ironworker to work? Hundreds of Organized Ironworkers have gone to work the last few years. It is impossible to find a job for everyone who has applied, but we will keep every application on file and contact you when work is available. We are in search of good, hard working ironworkers.
