California District Council Competitors Rusty Secody, Paul Aroian, and Roger Ramirez

International Apprenticeship Competition

The International Apprenticeship Competition was held in September at the Houston Local 84 Training Center. Our District Council Competitors, Paul Aroian, Roger Ramirez, (both from Local 433 in La Palma) and Rusty Secody from Local 75 in Phoenix, all did a fine job of representing our district council. The competition was intense as the best of the best competed for great prizes and bragging rights.

WOMEN GLADIATORS and THE GOLDEN GATE BRIDGE
 
BENICIA, Calif. (KGO) -- The Golden Gate Bridge's 75th anniversary is coming up this weekend. A lot has changed since it was built, but ironworkers are still key in bridge construction. The bridge workers of tomorrow are being trained in the Bay Area. Some of them are women.
 Ironworkers consider themselves the Marines of the building trades. If that's so, then the Field Ironworkers Apprenticeship and Training Center in Benicia, also known as the University of Iron, is boot camp.

 

"Basket weaving and pottery's a lot of fun, but that's not what we do at the training center," apprenticeship director Dick Zampa, Jr. said. "It's welding, rigging, reinforcing, post-tensioning, architectural work and everything related to the ironworker trade."
