“Before I joined the trade, I was looking at maybe $10 less than what I started with as an apprentice with no benefits. So coming in as an apprentice, having medical from 500 hours in, that's more than most other jobs out of, you know, three month, six month probation period. I could afford an emergency. I do not have to worry about medical benefits for my kids.” - Priscilla Rocco of baclocal1ny #WomenInConstruction #WIC2025 #tradeswomen
