Great comment.

Love Iron Workers and this episode is an excellent example of why Rick Mercer is amazing!

[@RogerDiotte]

I'll admit you definitely are and have lived a life of MANY wishes of most of US...Man you are/were so lucky to have this many experiences!

[@user-gg5td1dk2w]

A lot of respect for the guys who do this work.

[@makim-k5850]

Local 7 over here. Did rods for a few days. It's alright, but just not really my favorite thing. Have done 2 days of structural and so far I love every minute of it. Moving the big iron is for me. It takes a bit of time to get used to walking up high on the beams but once you get used to it, it's fun as hell. Can't wait to go back to work on Monday.

"The big bag of Meli Melo here." I died laughing!!!! My favourite snack food and I always call it that.

[@makattak88]

Union Ironworker pride! Worked with Gerry last year!

[@bj146651]

makattak88 I want to get into this trade? Is the union the only way to go? Do I need to take an aptitude test. I took one for the elevator union and failed miserably. I studied for 2 months also and bought all this stuff I just suck at test. I always had a interest in iron work. Could you fill me in.

Not only huge respect to these workers but also to Rick for having the courage to go to those roof tops side by side with those workers, I wouldn't go there LOL when he looked down at 1:26 I was like "hell nah" 😂

If Jann Arden was at this, the whole show would be bleeped out.

I did it for 10 years. North Dakota power plants, hospitals etc until a pallet of bricks fell from 4 stories. That was the end of my Ironworking days.

@@pixelbender896 Sure, I was just speaking from a perspective of people who are fully at the max wages.

[@pixelbender896]

@@user-gg5td1dk2w yeah it's just ALOT of people misconstrue the union. They assume you make top wages automatically. When in reality it's not like that at all. After a 4 year degree with most unions you journey out. Therefore making max wages until wages are re discussed and reconstructed as a union

[@user-gg5td1dk2w]

@@pixelbender896 It really all depends on the trade/industry you're in. Some take longer than others to reach full wages.
