Lets see if i can explain it as clear as possible. Every week a worker gets his pay envelope that contains his weekly paycheck for x-amount of straight time and x-amount of overtime,if in fact they have worked overtime that week. Also included in that envelope are stamps,similar to the old trading stamps,if you're old enough to remember those.Those stamps reflect those straight and overtime hours and are used to show proof of hours worked so they can be credited toward retirement and medical benefits. Those stamps are placed in a book for every year. When it comes time to retire,the said worker will have a book for every year worked. For instance,if the guy retires after 35 years,he should have 35 yearly books he turns in and retirement is based on the number of stamps in each book. Not many locals use the stamp books anymore. Most locals have gone to an electronic system nowadays. I will say though that it,in my opinion is a better way. I hope that helps a bit.

First, benefit compensation is no longer called "stamps", they are vouchers.
The voucher + wages equal approximately $3100.00 per week for a journeyman Ironworker not including compensation and liability insurance. In the case of tower 1 and tower 4 the fabricator of the steel is also the steel erector and the metal deck purchaser. This company is responsible for a tremendous amount of money (per week) for labor and suppliers. If the Port Authority or Silverstein Properties does not pay the fabricator/erector in a timely manner, then they can not be expected to meet their obligations. Credit lines can only go so far, I know because I have been on both sides of this issue.

Carlos, agian, excellent shots. The tower looks fantastic. So, is where the tip of those cranes are going to be where the building tops out?

i mean like where those cranes end, is that where the roof will end, too?

THE BIG APPLE · #**18558** Posted **Dec 14, 2011, 2:23 AM**

^Just a BIT under the cranes is where the roof is supposed to end.
