That guy in the video is a puller! It's kind of hard to explain, but that is a very glamours and well-respected job among steel workers because it's very dangerous and takes a lot of skill and strength.

My grandfather wanted that job very badly, but my grandmother got him a job in the steel mill hospital instead as a janitor.

Now "why did they need an onsite hospital at the mill?" you might ask. Why indeed.

I can still remember grandpa gushing about the wirepullers... good lordt
