What is a union flagger?

A Union Flagger is a traffic control professional responsible for directing vehicles and pedestrians safely around construction zones, roadwork, or other obstructions. They use hand signals, stop/slow paddles, and two-way radios to communicate with workers and drivers. Being part of a union means they receive benefits such as standardized wages, job security, and workplace protections. The role requires attention to safety regulations and strong communication skills. Training and certification may be required depending on state or local regulations.

Familiarity with two-way radios, traffic signage, and high-visibility safety equipment is typically required. Strong communication skills, alertness, reliability, and the ability to stay calm under pressure set standout candidates apart. These skills are crucial to ensure the safety of workers, drivers, and pedestrians while facilitating smooth and efficient traffic flow through construction or event zones.

They regularly interact with both construction crews and the general public, requiring them to address questions or concerns and sometimes handle difficult conversations with frustrated drivers. Managing long periods of standing, maintaining concentration, and ensuring the highest standards of safety for everyone in the work zone are challenges that flaggers routinely face.
