Please post the statistics that show its “the most dangerous union job in the nation”. I’d be interested to see those numbers. In my work as a union rep, I believe my research shows that construction is the most dangerous major industry and private sanitation and timbering/logging are the two most dangerous minor industry professions.

Don't have a source off hand other than my father was a longshoremen for 40+ years and the union rep sorry 🤷🏻‍♂️ I'll edit the phrasing my bad. Irregardless it's an extremely dangerous place to work, my father has seen and had many workers get decapitated on site, run over, crushed, and more.

I vaguely remember underwater welding being the most dangerous Union job. Is that what he was doing?
