    Most skilled trades make above average wages. Flaggers only make that king of money when they are working a davis-bacon job.

    now in the state of ohio you have to actually have a certification to flag on any odot ( state ) heavy highway job...it is a 20 hour class, and you must have your 10 hour osha card and your stp card before you can take the flaggers class...i belong to the local labors union # 83 around here...i have been a member around 15 years...

    when i started we did not even have an apprenticeship program for the trade..now days there is an apprenticeship program..it seems like every year i have to take a new class to get certified to do something that we have been doing for years..i think the training is a good thing..plus we generally get paid for any classes we have to take...

    it seems like anymore you have to have a certification for anything you do..i think it is for companies insurances more than anything
