About Local 808

A little about us at Local 808
Local 808 is made up of over 900 Ironworkers who live, work, spend money and raise their families with in the central Florida area. The men and women of our organization have spent three to four years training as apprentices in the Ironworking trade building the necessary skills to become Journeyman Ironworkers. The training provides our men and women with a highest levels of safety, knowledge of the latest industry practices and certifications required by the contractors who utilize our skilled craftsman to build the unique structures that are raised in the central Florida area from the space industry to the theme parks.

Local 808 has been in the Central Florida area since 1965 providing good wages, retirement benefits and health insurance to the men and women who have risen to the challenge.

Our members erect common structural steel in the form of Shopping Centers, Mall’s and Warehouses, in additon to custom structures such as Sports Complexes, Hospitals and Roller Coasters. Launch Towers for rockets at the Space Center and the very unique structures for our multiple Theme Parks rank amongst our accolades. We also install the reinforcing of foundations and concrete structures, set stairs and hand rails, fence, glass, precast structures and parking decks. This is just to cover some of what we do for contractors, who utilize the safe, skilled and trained craftspeople from within our communities.
