"If I could say one thing to someone considering becoming an ironworker it would be that joining this trade is one of the best choices you can make to provide good wages, long-term stability, excellent health and pension benefits, and upward mobility for you and your family. Joining the Iron Workers Union provides the opportunity to become a member of a noble trade with a rich history whose day-to-day work helps build the future. Speaking of which, we're moving into a decade of unprecedented construction throughout the U.S. and Canada - from industrial construction to maintaining chemical and nuclear plants after they're built. In other words, not only is ironworking an exciting and rewarding trade where your work will be admired by generations to come, it's a trade with boundless opportunities."
