On this episode of Tradeswork: The Rocky Mountain Mechanical Contractors Association Podcast, we welcome Ben Frias, a 4th year apprentice at UA Local 192 in Cheyenne, WY. Ben shares with us how he got involved in the trades, discusses his past as a bullrider, why he chose pipefitting over electrical work, and where he sees himself going from here. Here are some of the questions you can expect to be answered on this show:
- What led to Ben choosing a union job over other opportunities?
- Why did an enjoyment of math lead to his choice of pursuing pipefitting?
- What does a pipefitter do? And how does that type of work fit into hydrogen fueling stations?
- How does this career allow one to travel?
- What is "sticker trading?"
- How are unions misunderstood, and what does Ben want to do to evolve their perception?
