Watergate and The Plumbers



service provider vs contractor

Watergate has shed light on the plumbing crew that worked in the White House. The Plumbers were an undercover Special Investigations Unit. They investigated government leaks as well as other illegal activities. Here are their career options and mission. They helped uncover Watergate and kept the White House clean.

Watergate

Without mentioning the plumbers, it is impossible to tell the story of Watergate without including them. The plumbers, or Special Investigations Unit, was led by a former senior White House official named Egil 'Bud' Krogh. Krogh was convicted in connection with a break-in at Dr. Lewis Fielding’s Office. Krogh was sentenced for his crimes.

Members of White House Plumbers

The White House Plumbers was a secret group that helped President Nixon to prevent classified leaks. This group was created in July 1971 to protect the administration from trouble. However, as the Watergate scandal erupted, its members became involved in more illegal activities.

Although it's unclear as to the Plumbers' intentions, they could have sought evidence that would implicate Lawrence F. O'Brien (DNC chairman). The Plumbers' primary goal was to link the future wife of Nixon's White Counsel with an evidence ring. But it's also possible that they were looking for personal information about themselves.

Their mission

The plumbers' Mission is an organization that came together to aid the victims of Pandemic. Ament and Pandora decided to join the mission even though Pearl Jam was forced to cancel some of its scheduled tours in response. They were able assemble a number of volunteer events, such as cleaning graffiti off the walls at Shelby and Le Havre or washing the bottoms in a swimmingpool.


The plumbers' mission is similar to other secret societies and groups. Their name is secretive and only their inner council know it. A plumber's version of Omerta protects them. Midnight Plumbers are a secretive organization that is growing in popularity around the globe.

Career options

If you've always wanted to be a plumber but were not sure where to go next, there are many career options. Plumbing is a difficult trade that requires many tools, materials, as well as knowledge. Depending on your interest, you could become a pipefitter, an underground pipelayer, or even a gas service technician. You can also become a project manager, leveraging your years of experience and collaborating with other construction experts. A third option is to start your own business and operate a plumbing service.


subcontractors

After graduating high school, you may be able to enter the plumbing industry as an apprentice, GED, or through trade school. Apprenticeships let you get the basics of the job, while also paying you. After a few years you can pass a licensing exam to become an apprentice. By acquiring additional licenses or certifications, you can become a specialist in your specific area. You will gain valuable experience as you become a project manager/inspector, master plumber, and even business owner.

Salary

Plumbers' salaries can vary greatly but the national average is about $46,400. The median salary for an entry-level plumber is $36,700, and the average salary for intermediate and senior plumbers is around $60,000. However, depending on the location and other factors, the actual salary of a plumber can vary widely. In Arkansas, for example, the average salary of a plumber is $28,800. The highest-paid plumbers make $53,700.

Texas plumbers are paid an average of $15k less per year than their counterparts across the nation. Texas has a greater need for plumbers and employers are willing to pay higher wages in order to keep qualified plumbers. Plumbers who work in Texas can also expect to receive bonuses, typically in the form of an individual performance-based bonus. These bonuses can be based on the number and quality of customer service scores that plumbers have achieved.
