Organized Labor

Tom Viscuso, Apprentice
I wasn't working at the time and someone gave my dad a card. So I went down to the union and filled out all the paperwork. A year-and-half later they called and said they had work for me. I love what I do. For me, it just goes on by itself. Not everyone can do it. And it pays really good. Before, I did landscaping, which was hard work, swinging a pick and shovel all day. The worst thing about the trade is the itch and not having room to get your hands on stuff. You have to reach around to get into some tight places. But it's all a matter of staying cool when it's hot out and you get the itches.
