His Family Tree Is Built With Metal By Jessica DuLong, Newsday
Peddle explains the hierarchy: 'Ironworkers like to think we're the elite of construction workers. The raising gang is the elite of the ironworkers, and the connector is the elite of the raising gang.' He worries this might come off as cocky but confesses cockiness is part of the tradition. It keeps ironworkers striving to do their best.
Because they erect the structures upon which all other work takes place, the raising gang sets the pace of a job.
'Because of the connector, the bolter-up has work, the electrician has work. ... All the other trades are working on what I built,' Peddle says.------------------------------------------- posted 6:41 AM :: reference link ::
