How Much Money Do Union Inspectors Make?

[@gavinlujan7577]

As someone who got started in inspection a few months ago out of high-school, this was very very helpful for me. Thank you for your content🤙

[@briansullivan1621]

Operating Engineers is a great organization

LaneApe, start asking these folks if they work when it's rainning. I know SoCal it rains once a year.

[@calidream9273]

Rains a bit more than that, we got a good amount of rain this year

[@dcgeeked8917]

it all depends on the job

[@iuoe12]

As an inspector we work a lot indoors so you still can make money during the rain. It all depends on you Certs or Licenses you carry. The Moore you have the more you will stay busy.

[@aaronrodriguez1410]

I wonder if they pay that much in my area. And if they do why aren't there mountains of applications

[@yourfavoritespartan8841]

I think a very large part of it is because society as a whole doesn't put this kind of work in the limelight anymore. Like this man said early in the video. Stuff like mechanics, carpenters, electricians, plumbing and welding are not really Even talked about in lower education anymore. So yeah I definitely believe it's a lack of exposure to our youth

[@juanescalante9972]

Wow he really went out of way give out as much info as he could most people wouldn't do that

[@iuoe12]

I also started like this interviewer and asked plenty of questions so I felt it also necessary to help give information to him to Hopefully help the younger generation to see their options.

They always push that high dollar rate (60 an hr) but thats full package. Thats there medical insurance, vacation pay, and pension. They take home around 33ish to maybe 40 an hr. Its important to take into account that construction isnt steady plus your constantly commuting. Theres plenty of jobs out there that pay well. I am not bashing construction just stating the facts.

[@Chavojon]

No you fool that's to the check be jealous scab! In California us high skill union construction workers are all mostly making 100k year. I'm 24 and haven't made less than 100k since before COVID

[@jamesjory9014]

Not true at all. 60 a hr is take home for a journeyman level. I’m a union inspector as well. The whole package is roughly 100$ a hour including your vacation pay, pension and 401k. There is not a lot of jobs that pay 60 a hour after 3-5 years of field experience

[@madomad5864]

@jamesjory9014 how much you bringing in a year?

[@jamesjory9014]

@@madomad5864 if you get a little over time and work year round after taxes about 100k

@jamesjory9014 how much you make per year?

[@HappinessLight]

[@laneape]

Local 12 is in California and Nevada

[@guillermocentella4802]

I just acquired my AWS CWI and 6 years of certified welding experience. I'm currently studying for my ICC bolts certification. Will Local 12 consider someone with my background and experience?

[@plutocoupe112]

Definitely

[@TheGeneral326]

Get on the C list at your nearest local 12 hall. It’s like 35$ month wait for a phone call for work

[@iuoe12]

Absolutely sir. There is an open order constantly @ Local 12 for CWI inspectors

[@juniorpalomera-garcia7448]

Framer here baby

[@briansullivan1621]

I hope the operating engineers union gains the majority of the market in the US & beyond

[@702prodigy]

job ain’t for everyone. especially if you have no integrity

[@4ngel209]

Do they pay for mileage? Since there’s a lot of driving

[@iuoe12]

If you are carrying specific Equipment needed for the job that only the Lab where you are working with carries then you will get paid Gate to Gate. Most of the time it's usually on you dime for the travel. If you travel from the Lab you were hired out of more than 50mi you will get paid milage.

[@4ngel209]

@@iuoe12 knowing that, is owning a truck necessary? Also does pay rate change depending on the city? Like if you go to the bay? Or is it always one flat rate

[@iuoe12]

@4ngel209 owning a truck is beneficial but not necessary. I had a Prius for a long time and did the job just fine. Carrying a wheelbarrow to perform Concrete sampling is the most space you will need for equipment.

[@4ngel209]

@@iuoe12 is the pay the same everywhere you go?

[@iuoe12]

@@4ngel209 The wage doesn't change. Your wage is dictated by the licenses you carry. As long as you carry the licenses you wage won't change. The more licenses you have the more money you can make. This of course as long as your working in Local 12 jurisdiction.

[@shootermcgavin6610]

Maybe where hes at but in my area, apprentices make like 17/hr, and you gotta travel an hr away. So idk this guy might be full of shit.

[@Chavojon]

Local 12 in Los Angeles California... yeah it pays

[@bakoguy5330]

Local 12 is all over Cali, and has districts. Districts 1 is Pasadena, that’s where all the LA people are. Some districts go into Nevada and he’s not full of shit, but if you plan on trying it, you better have some balls. It’s extreme difficult to start in without knowing anyone or have a good company to work for, one wrong move and you can be blacklisted. It’s like anything else, just a job, fun at times and sucks most of the time. If anyone tells you they love their job to the fullest they need a better life.

[@iuoe12]

Definitely not BS here brother. Please look into it for your self. All the info can be had online.
