Joined as an apprentice for my father, in 2021, for Crimson Fire Protection, Local 669. Best year, of a working man, I've had my whole life, so far, and I'm 27. I'm 4th generation, of pipefitters, in my family. Great grandpa was the beginning of it all. What can I say, other than. It's just a family tradition.
Nice dude! Glad to hear! I’m 28 I start in 1 week with 669! I’m currently working non union, I’m about a year and 2 months into the trade
What’s the starting pay for where you’re at starting as an apprentice?
I just journeyed out im 25 yrs old. I got in at 20 yrs old...im 2nd generation and I want to get out as soon as I can. Moneys good but it takes a toll on your body. Every day getting beat at work throwing up pipe gets very old. I question my career all the time. All these old timers just settle because the moneys decent, most are divorced & miserable, cant afford to leave because they spend every damn dollar they earn...Get in ..save that money & get out. Trust me u dont wanna be another old fitter thats been in for 30+ yrs only to retire all broken. Theres sooo many other ways to make good money.

Continential?
Just ask John Mott About his six hour commute every day
Can you rejoin if I left? I left before the 6 month probationary period and didn’t even got my union card. I’m trying to get back in as a level 5 apprentice. Can anyone answer and if so how can I rejoin?
A UA-cam comment is not going to get you an answer
Hello Abdiel. To get back in, I would suggest contacting the Local 669 business agent for the area that you live in. www.sprinklerfitters669.org/ They can tell you what you will need to do and the employment picture for your area. Good Luck!
Yes but you have to fill out papers again and pay the Initiation fee

What is the average salary of a sprinkler fitter in California?
Union for foreman rate is $45 an hour that’s after the 5 year apprenticeship program
Do you need to take a physical / math test to join?
1st you gotta know somebody. 2nd you have to pass a drug test, 3rd you have a five year apprenticeship...not like scabs, they take anyone who is willing to work for pennies and never ask questions...
@@LucaBrasi231 how much is the apprentice pay?
@@Chris-eo1bp it depends where you live. Rates go to according to what district you are in. Call local 669 and ask them questions dude Jesus Christ find out for yourself
@@LucaBrasi231 well why did you say work for pennies. Im in the L.A area
@@Chris-eo1bp Im saying if youre non-union you will work for pennies.
Local 179 canada! Nothin finer than a 179er!
what's the average salary for this job in the US
All depends where you live. Down south they make pennies compared to what we make up north cause it’s all right to work. Cali, Phili and NJ might be the highest paid well into the mid $50s/hr.
Dwn south dont make shit
Mid 50s n hour man in Australia we make half that you got it good there
