5:00 he didn't meant "high maintenance people" he said "mantenidos" which is a word used in Latin America to describe people who has generational wealth and don't have to work to survive
Whoever is employing these guys should get them actual rope access gear to work with... The gear and ropes they are working with is ridiculously dangerous! I don't know US legal norms on rope access work but in Europe that stuff is illegal.. A piece of cloth as rope protector on a rope like that?! Seriously.. Their boss should be in prison.
I washed windows in Chicago during the late 80's. I was given the same stuff to work with as these guys have. It was normal equipment. My foreman still used what he was trained in which was a "genie" cylinder type system with two lines going thru and a bow-sun chair. No safety. He would tell me that the second line going thru the genie was his safety. I used the rack-n-bar setup with a separate safety line/ body harness. I never had an issue. Sad that these guys make the same wages as I did 32 years ago.
Wow what a great short documentary on a tough and risky job, may God keep them safe. - Wow que buen corto documentario en el dificil y riesgoso trabajo, que Dios los quiede.
i remember being nervous all day waiting to make shure my dad would make it home safe from window cleaning now i keep an eye on him by working side by side as a window cleaner
I've been doing this for over 20 years. And believe it or not. You get paid more working on the ground with a pole. Our pay is based on how fast we get the job done. It doesn't matter how long it takes, you still get paid the same.
yo trabaje por muchos anos en las ventanas con la compania service one, y gracias a Dios en contre otro trabajo mas facil y les mando saludos a cruz y a todos los liempia ventanas que siguen luchando dia a dia y que algun dia las companias de limpia ventas les pague lo que merecen porque es un trabajo muy riesgoso y pesado, que DIOS me los bendigan a todos y que algun dia les cambie la suerte le desea este puertorriqueno.
The truth of the matter; this company over took the majority of the work in Chicago, by either under bidding but mostly by force pushing the I know somebody by means of strong arming, back in the mid 1990’s. Way to go Liz, you served Corporate well. To my past employee’s. Phil, Eloy, & Freddie, Domingo, Anton. Thanks For the many years of service to our once company. You guys deserve the best in your endeavors.
Mira yo también lavo ventanas aquí en Miami Fl . y disfruto mucho mi trabajo soy mexicano , y si siempre encomendarse siempre a dios todos los días y tranquilo, no pasa nada ,y pa´delante bendiciones.
Someone should invest in giving them proper ropes. It's sketchy looking on the frays of the rope they use. After all it's the ropes that keep them alive

The video is 7 years old .. things are much different now all or most working high rise are certified and use way better equipment and this company is one of the biggest ones in Chicago/Chicago area
@@EightiesTV they do have a boss it’s a company they work for I don’t know these guys in the video but I know some of the newer guys and most of them are level 3’s (spratt)
I have the newest mechanical device for window washers arborists anybody that works at height related scenarios it is called the Z runner self-rescue system I have for pending patents which therefore I would like to start in New York City with the greatest idea of fire-related scenarios in high story buildings now people could gain access out of a window in down to the ground to see another day.
Ive been pushed out Two industries because of illegal workers ....Landscaping and Window Cleaning .....while our boarder is WIDE OPEN FOR EVEN MORE....Lets go BRANDON
+Carlitos I do and my wages are the same as they were 20 years ago because of these criminal illegals. if your illegal your the leech. suck my country dry and work cheap, pay no taxes and on welfare. Your days are numbered when Trump gets elected. Trump 2017
+goldsmithstudent Keep talking . I'm More American Than You are . But As Soon as You Mentioned Donald Trash I realized Who you Are "Racist" keep your Frustration Out of Here. So brave behind . And yeah Please reply This Comment a year after donald trash get Elected (if so) and tell me How my Country it's Doing Ill be Out in the Beutiful ibiza Enjoying the Mediterranean ✈️✈️✈️😎😎😎😎😎
+Carlitos Ah yes, another moron who doesn't know what the ACTUAL definition of racism is. Yet throws the word around around so freely thinking he does. Nothing of what +goldsmithstudent said is racist. Nor is anything Mr. Trump says about immigration racist because Mr. Trump is CLEARLY, by definition, not a racist. Educate yourself moron.
Bonito el vídeo pero muy mala seguridad sin casco malos anclajes cuerdas de mala calidad malos arneses créeme no me descuelgo yo así ni muerto por mucho que nesecite el dinero

These guys are absolutely amazing. They give me a lot of inspiration.
Thanks for the short documentary, I learned a lot from others peoples jobs and values. Much respect to them!
Respect to these guys for doing such a dangerous job.

TheNilstubes contact osha
i know nothing about window cleaning but that piece of carpet seems really sketchy considering how important it is
TheNilstubes they are their own boss.
Having done this work previously also noticed that there was no bag at all to store the ropes in.

I think it's probably statistically riskier to work in an office than doing rope access on built structures nowadays.
I'm a window cleaner myself, for D.T.L.A buildings... Respect to these guys!
i remember being nervous all day waiting to make shure my dad would make it home safe from window cleaning now i keep an eye on him by working side by side as a window cleaner
YOU THINK I WOULD BE RISKING MY LIFE FOR PENNIES NO SIR $$$$$$$ ITS OUR COMPANY
Sergio More I like your attitude!!!!

Do you remember your first day getting up there? What was that like?

Underbidding is easy when you don't buy ropes because you use the worn-out ones that get thrown away.
2:28 my mans hand had to be on fire🔥
So glad I’m child free. I really think you will like this short video.
Amazing! What a great job!
Mucho respect ✊
Wonderful. And in the last second the one question I had was also answered; how do they get down? Great job!
Brave men
Muy cierto mi amigo lo principal es trabajar limpio y la velocidad llega despues tambien ago lo mismo en kansas, suerte colega y que Diosito nos cuide
So many safety violations
Excelente su trabajo, muy peligroso. se necesita ser muy valiente.
revisen siempre su equipo de protección personal antes de cada uso.
muy respetable.

wonderful short!
Very nice 👍
I feel like they don't get paid enough
Please get them a proper rope and harness for high rise cleaning. What descender are they using??
IRATA and SPRAT existed at these times. Ignorance and exploitation
God bless
POV: homework assignment.
Beautiful
Been uploaded 2013 people so don't compare there gear before
Se mira muy peligroso el trabajo

Muy bien carnal una vez llege tu tumba al Panteón se a cabo nuestra historia suerte
buen trapajo 🙏🏽 quie dios los ayude
How beautiful.
Lots of them in London. But not with 70's equipment.
I don’t understand Why these guys are still working with those equipments? It’s too risky. I wouldn’t work like that.
It blows my mind that less than 100 UA-cam users have seen this video.
man, that was good...
nice jub , I have a good expirance , how can I apply for this jub?
q dios loz cuide munxho paisa
Dios Todopoderoso me los cuide,🙏🙏🙏
Estubo Bueno El video
their boss need proper training and provide adequate safety gear so those guys can work safely all the time
They don't have a boss. And since they don't have a boss, the Occupational Health and Safety Act does not apply to them.

@@jessezetina9686 really ??..... i don't think so
Undercutting every other business is not the way. Especially when they don’t have to follow the same safety guidelines as the rest of us.
those descenders are terrible and that rope on the roof looks like natural string rope!?!??!?
De cuánto pagan la hora..?
Abraço 🙏 " Lavadores janelas, do céu....
Why label them immigrant window cleaners? Im not going to watch the video as i do this everyday but why call them that?
I have the newest mechanical device for window washers arborists anybody that works at height related scenarios it is called the Z runner self-rescue system
I have for pending patents which therefore I would like to start in New York City with the greatest idea of fire-related scenarios in high story buildings now people could gain access out of a window in down to the ground to see another day.
