#Roofers Union

[darry-queen]

How much Darry and Soda would make modern day and if it would be enough to pay for at least the three of them: (note this may not be incredibly accurate and while yes I did do research while calculating this shit it wasn't super in depth! feel free to correct me on any and all mistakes you notice and feel free to also give your own opinions!! Much love!)

Starting with Darry's:

Before I get into number this is all assuming that Darry works exclusively the hours allotted to him while missing no work, he'd have a 5 day work week at 40 hours which is standard practice in the United States, except for his part time job which he'd be working 25/h a week (i talk about this more later just continue reading) also I'm not giving them any kind of insurance. Sorry! Lol!

Starting salary of a roofer in Oklahoma is $14/h with the average being around $15/h. Assuming this Darry will be getting around 30k a year. I'm going to be generous and say he works for a good company and has a strong union so I'll give him a end of year bonus as well ($200-$800)

His weekly pay would be around $550-$600

This would be taxed though! Using a taxing calculator (bc I'm not doing all that math babeee) He'd be payed around $500 a week.

Darry also canonically has a second job! Though it is never really talked about, not even mentioned whether it's part or full time. I'm just going to assume, generally, that it is probably a part time job that pays minimum wage. (I'm aware that there are many popular hc's as to what this job is I'm ignoring those lol) now I don't live in Oklahoma but I do have personal experience with working part time and it fucking sucks. They have you working only slightly less then a full time employee so they do not have to give you full benefits. It is an incredibly fucked up and exploitative practice.

Something to note is that Oklahoma allows part time employees to be payed half minimum wage the first 90 days of employment when under the age of 20. I do not think I will include this in the calculation because even though Darry would be 19 at the time of his parents death I think he would be 20 not long after and I do not care enough to look into this law to include it in my calculations! Just wanted to mention it because?? What the fuck Oklahoma?

Anyway, part time would have Darry working 25 hours a week for $7.25/h which would be around $180/week. After taxes he'd make $160/week getting him to $660 a week.

Finally, what everyone was waiting for.... doordash fucking driving baby. Considering he lives in a populated area I am going to be generous and say he manages to get around $20/h from doordash driving. Assuming he does this on the days he doesn't work part time (so the other 15 hours) he'd make a whopping 16k extra a year OMG!!

As for any money he'd earn from the state for guardianship of Pony and Soda: Idk! It's kind of confusing trying to figure out Oklahoma giving shit out for this because fostering and guardianship are two dif things and I'm almost certain Darry would have Guardianship over his siblings, not fostering them. So I'm just not including it: he may have received a check upon first becoming their guardian but since that is a one time thing I'm not going to include it in my final calculations (i know this is kinda contradictory for giving Darry a bonus for his roofing work but IDC IDC IDC IDC I AM NOT PUTTING THAT MUCH EFFORT INTO THIS (NOTE I FILLED OUT A MOCK W2 FORM TO GET A ROUGH ESTIMATE OF WHAT DARRY'S TAX RETURN WOULD BE BUT THAT DOESN'T MEAN I CARE))

All of the above considered: Darry is making $960 a week. Wow!

Now for Sodapop!

Soda I'm just going to copy paste what Darry's theoretical part time job would be because it's almost time for me to go to bed and I couldn't find any special rules for 16< year olds, so he'd be working 25 hours for $7.25 which after taxes is again $160

In total him an Darry combined are making a good healthy $1120 a week on average. Probably more if you consider Darry going insane with doordash/overtime! Overall a good $4480 a month

GREAT NOW TIME FOR EXPENSES!!

Expenses Include:

Mortgage payments

power bill

water bill

natural gas

car payments (maybe)

car insurance (maybe)

fuel

food

phone payments

internet bill

probably more I can't remember off the top of my head

OKAY NOW explaining the maybe's rq

You can just, not pay for car insurance. It's illegal, but when you're poor it's not like you can really care about the legality of certain things. Sometimes, it's eating vs car insurance, y'know? Especially because Darry is only 20, that shit is going to be expensive. And the car was def under his dad's name previously so he also def doesn't have any history. I'mma be generous though and say that he does have CREDIT history, which following my own car insurance premiums: my man is going to be paying like, $400 a month. and trust me, I'm being generous here. This is also for liability only. crazy right? With that considered, if I can not get Darry's salary to work with the rest of his expenses I'm saying he's driving without insurance. Hope you understand.

Now for the car itself, it might be payed off already might not. Again it's almost time for me to go to bed so I"m not willing to double check the book to see if car payments are ever mentioned. If they are I'll come back and fix this another time but for now. I'm not including it.

As for the gas for this theoretical truck? I'm going to put it from $250-$300 a month based off of what Reddit car owners said on how often they have to get gas for their own trucks. Great!

OKAY NOW FOR THE REAL EXPENSES! The average cost of utilities in Oklahoma, Tulsa specifically, is $270 a month for electricity, like $130 a month for natural gas, and for water $100 a month. Now you're probably saying, "Paya, isn't that a little high?" to which I'd say, they have 4 (presumably more) other boys coming around almost everyday. SO I feel it's fine to rate that shit on the higher side of things.

Before I forget: the mortgage payments!

This one is kinda fucked! I have no idea when the Curtis parents bought the house in canon. If it was after, or before Darry was born, etc. Because of this you can kinda just make hc's for this. The reason I say this is because obviously the housing market now is VERY different from the one in the 40s-60s which is when they'd have had to buy the house in cannon. In fact, I'm not even entirely sure they own the house in canon I'm just assuming right now! Like, if you're making a modern au: feel free to say that they're renting! Like who really cares about it? I'll even calculate it here for you so you have a frame of reference: Assuming the house is at least 2 bedrooms 1 bathroom it's gonna be around 1.5k a month. If you want to say they're paying a mortgage though, I'm going to assume based off the little data I could find of average home cost in 2004 (I'm assuming the house was bought around the time of Darry's birth) we're looking at somewhere between 150k-250k. I'm going to low ball it though because I think Oklahoma housing prices are generally cheaper and I'm going to assume they'd go for something affordable over something large. So I'll say 175k! Average interest on a home loan in 2004 was around 6%, with a 20% downpayment Darry will be paying 1k a month for the mortgage. Not that bad!

Phone bill is p cheap around 100$ feel like you may be able to play around with this. Like maybe they're paying for Johnny? Who knows not me I want to go to bed!

Food is like so fucking expensive now tbh. I pay $300 a month on grocery shopping a month for my household. Assuming Darry is purchasing food for himself, his brothers, and a little extra for the gang I'm going to put his grocery bill at around $500 a month. I think I'm lowkey low balling it, but I think he'd be a good bargain shopper. Btw, don't ask if he qualifies for food stamps! Because he doesn't!

internet bill is significantly cheaper going to be around $50 a month, as for services like live streaming and other things, we're gonna say it's all pirated. no one is paying for that shit when you can get it online for free! (Personal hc: Steve is a fucking amazing pirate and can get you literally anything you ask for.)

Final cost of living for my boys, not including school supplies, school/extra curriculars/or clothing: $2400 - $3350

Ending conclusion: If Darry works 80+ hours a week and Soda helps out with his part-time job they have more then enough to pay for almost all living expenses. Tell me where I fucked up! Thanks. Btw according to the shittily done w2 I did for Darry he'd get almost 2k in tax returns; i most def fucked something up but I'mma accept it despite that.

Two companies accused of unionbusting

Earlier this summer, I wrote a news article about Local 1325 of the United Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners of America trying to unionize about 50 general construction roofers employed by Flynn Canada Ltd. Based out of Toronto, Flynn is the leading provider of total building envelope solutions in North America, with locations in both Calgary and Edmonton. In the month and a half since I…

[captainjonnitkessler]

Hey Captain, got a question from a stranger to a stranger (if you don't feel like answering, no probs at all!).

I'm seriously considering turning my life around and starting an apprenticeship to work as a roofer (in my country that'd mean 3y of apprenticeship with low pay for a job with okay pay afterwards). It'd be my first contact with construction and first physically demanding full-time job (have worked physically demanding jobs part-time before, and have enjoyed the construction work i've done as a volunteer). But i'm already 27 and finishing up a Master's degree...

What are things you think i should keep in my mind before taking this sort of step? What were your experiences when starting construction? I'm a bit afraid of the culture shock but also my skin starts to crawl when i think of doing the kind of brainy project management job i'm currently doing for the foreseeable future. I come from a family of academics so construction is a really foreign world but i don't want to let fear/uncertainty make me miss out on trying out a job i'd be proud off. I'm fishing left and right for advice to help me make up my mind so any tips are so very welcome :D

Cheers! Also i enjoy your blog a lot, feels very good to have a level-headed rationalist in the dash

Hey, thanks for asking! I love talking about my experience in the trades. I used to be in school for software development before I joined the trades, but I just couldn't see myself sitting in front of a computer in an office setting for the rest of my life. I liked working with my hands and being active, so when I was about 26 or so I decided to take the plunge and I couldn't be happier.

Things to consider before starting:

The culture shock is very real. In America, the culture is changing slowly but surely as more women and minorities join, but it's still very much a white cishet boy's club. Unions provide some protection against discrimination, but it's not perfect - you'll need a thick skin. On the other hand, construction crews tend to be pretty tightly knit, so you'll usually have people who'll stick up for you if things start crossing the line.

It's physically difficult - you are going to be SO SORE for the first few weeks. Climbing a ladder uses muscles I didn't know I had before I started 😔 But that does get better with time, and it goes easier if you work out/keep yourself active in your off time.

It's dangerous, especially for roofers. Obviously there are a lot of safety precautions you're supposed to take, but a lot of people skip them because a) they think wearing Personal Protective Equipment makes you a pussy, b) there's pressure from the bosses to get things done fast and cheap and safety precautions take time and money, and c) PPE is just really annoying to wear. Again, unions and a thick skin will help - I get jokes about wearing PPE when nobody else is, but this job is hard enough on your body without helping it along.

This one is my own personal opinion, but I think the inherent danger of the job and witnessing accidents and deaths low-key traumatizes construction workers. Add that to the stigma against mental health treatment and you get very high rates of drug and alcohol abuse and suicide.

But in my own experience overall, I've been incredibly happy. It feels great to work with my hands and be able to see what I've accomplished at the end of the day and it feels great to be working on hospitals and schools and housing for people. You'll always be working with different people in different places, there's a lot of camaraderie that's really nice and there's always something new to learn and do. I don't think I could ever go back to retail or white-collar stuff - for the first time in my life I don't dread going to work.

Overall if you think it's something you might like, I'd recommend at least giving it a shot! Worst case scenario, sounds like you'll have your degree to fall back on and at least you won't be left wondering about what it would have been like.

Budget-Friendly Roofing Solutions: Financing Options You Need to Know 💸🏠

A new roof is a significant investment, but it’s also essential for protecting your home from the elements. Many homeowners delay roof repairs or replacements due to financial concerns. The good news? There are several budget-friendly financing options available to help you afford a durable, high-quality roof without breaking the bank.

Top Roofing Financing Options 💼🚀

1. Personal Loans 💳

A personal loan is a popular financing choice for homeowners needing immediate roofing solutions. Banks, credit unions, and online lenders offer personal loans with fixed interest rates and predictable monthly payments. The approval process is usually quick, and funds are often available within days. However, the interest rates depend on your credit score, so it’s essential to check for competitive rates.

2. Home Equity Loans & HELOCs 🏢

If you’ve built equity in your home, you can use a home equity loan or a home equity line of credit (HELOC) to finance your roofing project. These options typically offer lower interest rates than personal loans because they are secured by your property. A home equity loan provides a lump sum, while a HELOC functions like a credit card, allowing you to borrow as needed.

3. Roofing Company Financing Plans 🎬📄

Many roofing contractors offer in-house financing with flexible repayment plans. These programs often feature low or zero-interest introductory periods, making them a great option for homeowners looking to spread out payments. If you’re considering working with a roofing company in North York, ask about their financing options to find a plan that suits your budget.

4. Government Grants & Rebates 🌟💸

In some cases, homeowners may qualify for government grants or rebates for energy-efficient roofing upgrades. Programs like ENERGY STAR incentives or local weatherization assistance programs can help reduce upfront costs. Check with local authorities or energy providers to explore available options.

5. Credit Cards 💻

For smaller roofing repairs, using a credit card with a 0% introductory APR can be a viable solution. This allows you to pay off the balance over several months without accruing interest. However, if you’re unable to pay off the amount within the promotional period, interest rates can be high.

6. Insurance Claims 🛍️🌩️

If your roof was damaged due to a storm or other unforeseen events, your homeowner’s insurance might cover the cost. Review your policy and consult with your insurance provider to understand your coverage options. Some policies include full or partial reimbursements for roof repairs and replacements.

The Importance of a Quality Roof 🏡💪

A well-maintained roof enhances your home’s curb appeal, increases property value, and ensures long-term protection. Ignoring roof issues can lead to costly damages, including leaks, mold, and structural deterioration. Financing options make it easier to invest in a high-quality roof without straining your budget.

Work with a Trusted Roofing Professional 👥🌧️

Choosing the right roofing contractor is just as important as securing financing. A reputable roofer will offer transparent pricing, warranties, and expert installation. If you’re in need of professional services, The Roofers provide high-quality roofing solutions, competitive pricing, and flexible financing options to help you manage costs effectively.

Canada Introduces New PR Pathway for Construction Workers

Canada has unveiled a game-changing opportunity for construction workers seeking permanent residency (PR). To tackle labor shortages in the construction sector, Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) introduced new measures on March 7, 2025. This update brings new hope for skilled tradespeople and temporary foreign workers alike.

Table of Contents

Overview of the New PR Pathway

Key Benefits for Construction Workers

Impact on Canada’s Construction Industry

Skilled Trades Now Prioritized in Express Entry

Advisory Council on Construction

Canada Immigration Levels Plan 2025-2027

How Wave Visas Immigration Can Help

1. Overview of the New PR Pathway

The Canadian government is reserving immigration spaces for up to 6,000 undocumented construction workers living in Canada. Additionally, temporary foreign workers can now enroll in apprenticeship programs without needing a study permit — a restriction that previously limited many from upgrading their skills.

2. Key Benefits for Construction Workers

No Study Permit Required: Temporary foreign workers can now join apprenticeship programs without the hassle of applying for a study permit.

More Opportunities for Undocumented Workers: Canada is keeping spaces open for 6,000 undocumented construction workers to apply for PR.

Faster Path to Permanent Residency: With a focus on skilled trades, construction workers now have a clearer route to obtaining Canadian PR.

3. Impact on Canada’s Construction Industry

Canada’s construction sector is facing severe labor shortages, leading to delays in housing projects. The Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC) estimates 6 million new homes are needed by 2030 to restore housing affordability.

Immigrants make up 23% of general contractors and residential builders in Canada. Minister Marc Miller acknowledged the country’s struggle to train enough local workers, emphasizing the need for skilled international tradespeople.

4. Skilled Trades Now Prioritized in Express Entry

In a significant update on February 27, 2025, IRCC expanded the Express Entry system, adding 19 new occupations under the Trades Category, including:

Construction managers

Bricklayers

Roofers and shinglers

Painters and decorators

Floor covering installers

This change aims to attract more skilled construction workers, helping to ease workforce shortages.

5. Advisory Council on Construction

To support these changes, Canada is forming an Advisory Council on Construction, comprising government officials, unions, and industry leaders. Their focus will include:

Determining fair wages for construction workers

Recommending the number of foreign workers needed

Minister Miller also revealed that Canada may admit up to 14,000 foreign construction workers — though whether this will be via temporary or permanent pathways is yet to be confirmed.

6. Canada Immigration Levels Plan 2025-2027

Canada’s latest Immigration Levels Plan aims to balance immigration with the current housing crisis. The newly introduced “In-Canada Focus” category prioritizes applicants already residing in Canada.

By 2025, IRCC plans to grant 82,890 immigrants permanent residency under this category. While overall immigration levels are expected to decrease, these targeted measures show the government’s commitment to solving labor shortages and supporting the construction industry.

7. How Wave Visas Immigration Can Help

Navigating Canada’s immigration system can be complex — but Wave Visas Immigration is here to simplify the process for you.

Our expert consultants specialize in helping skilled workers, tradespeople, and temporary foreign workers achieve their dream of Canadian permanent residency. Whether you’re an undocumented worker, a tradesperson looking to upgrade skills, or someone hoping to benefit from the new Express Entry changes — Wave Visas Immigration has got your back.

Comment by tactical_milkshake on Reddit

35yrs old, 16 years on the roof now... I've tried to walk away a few times, but every time the weather shifts back, the sky starts calling and I find myself up in the sun again. The best you can hope for, if you stay in the hands on side of roofing, is to slide into repairs. Even that can be a tough job though. The money is good and we have more freedom than just about any other trade, because let's be honest, it's almost impossible to get fired if you're even slightly competent... But the future doesn't look great for our generation of roofers unless you got into the union and have been destroying your body since you were 18.

The Importance of Experience and Certifications for Roofer Salaries As we've discussed in previous sections, roofer salaries can vary greatly depending on a variety of factors. However, one of the most significant factors in determining a roofer's salary is their level of experience and any certifications they may have. Generally speaking, the more experience a roofer has, the higher their salary will be. This is because experienced roofers are able to take on more complex projects and work more efficiently, meaning they can command higher rates. Similarly, certifications can also play a role in determining a roofer's salary. Certifications such as the Certified Roofing Contractor (CRC) designation demonstrate a roofer's expertise and can make them more attractive to potential employers. In some cases, certifications can even be a requirement for certain types of roofing work, such as working on government contracts.

It's important to note that while experience and certifications can help increase a roofer's salary, they are not the only factors at play. Location, type of roofing work, and union membership can also impact a roofer's earnings. That being said, investing in gaining experience and obtaining certifications can be a wise move for roofers looking to increase their earning potential. Union Membership and Roofer Salaries: What You Need to KnowIn addition to experience and certifications, union membership can significantly impact a roofer's salary. Unionized workers tend to earn higher wages and benefits than non-unionized workers. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, union members earn on average 21% more than non-union members in similar positions.Union membership also provides other benefits such as healthcare, pension plans, and legal representation. Moreover, union members tend to have greater job security, as unions negotiate contracts that protect employees from layoffs and unfair dismissals.However, joining a union may not be suitable for all roofers. Membership dues can be costly, and some contractors do not work with unions, limiting job opportunities for unionized workers. Additionally, unions may have strict rules and regulations that could impact the flexibility of the work schedule.Table: Average Roofer Salary with and without Union Membership Average Annual Salary with Union Membership Average Annual Salary without Union Membership New York City $70,000 $52,000 Los Angeles $62,000 $43,000 Chicago $58,000 $45,000 Houston $50,000 $38,000 As seen in the table above, unionized roofers in major U.S. cities tend to earn significantly more than their non-unionized counterparts. However, the cost of living and union dues must also be considered when evaluating potential earnings. It is important to research and weigh the benefits and drawbacks of union membership before making a decision.In conclusion, union membership can play a significant role in a roofer's salary and benefits. Membership provides access to higher wages, benefits, and job security. However, it may not be suitable for everyone due to potential costs and limited job opportunities. It is crucial to take these factors into account when assessing your career goals in the roofing industry.What to Expect: Average Roofer Salaries in the U.S.As we explore the world of roofer salaries, it's important to have an understanding of the national average. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, as of May 2020, the average hourly wage for roofers was $21.05, with an average annual salary of $43,790.However, it's essential to recognize that these figures are just a starting point. Many factors, including experience, location, and certifications, can influence a roofer's salary.Despite these variables, the average salary is a useful benchmark for understanding the earning potential in this field. For instance, the top 10% of roofers earned upwards of $66,790 annually, while the bottom 10% made less than $28,860.It's also worth noting that the industry's job outlook is expected to grow at an average rate of 4% from 2019 to 2029. With new construction and increased demand for roofing repairs, this projection may lead to potential salary increases for roofers in the coming years.So, while the national average provides a baseline for understanding roofer salaries, it's crucial to consider additional factors when evaluating earning potential.Comparing Roofer Salaries in Different U.S. CitiesWhen it comes to roofer salaries in the United States, where you live can significantly impact how much you earn. To gain a better understanding of the differences, we've compiled a list of average salaries for roofers in various cities across the country.

With a strong work ethic and a willingness to learn, roofers can advance to positions such as project manager, estimator, or even business owner.One way to gain relevant experience in the roofing industry is by completing an apprenticeship program. Apprenticeships typically last three to four years and provide hands-on training in roofing techniques, safety procedures, and materials handling. They can also lead to industry-recognized certifications, such as those offered by the National Roofing Contractors Association (NRCA).Another way to advance in the roofing industry is by specializing in a particular area, such as solar roofing or green roofing. Roofers with specialized skills and experience can find in-demand jobs and earn higher salaries.Additionally, obtaining management skills and experience can lead to more significant opportunities for advancement. Roofers who become project managers or estimators can utilize their expertise to oversee projects and lead teams, resulting in higher salaries and more significant responsibilities.It's worth noting that some companies may require union membership for certain job positions, such as foreman or superintendent. While union membership can provide benefits such as higher wages and better working conditions, it's essential to research the specific union requirements and potential downsides, such as required payments and restrictions on job choices.In summary, the roofing industry offers numerous opportunities for career advancement.
