knowledge, training, and abilities, is capable of installing ceiling systems, demountable walls, access flooring,
partitions, soundproofing, metal lath, drywall, exterior prefabricated wall panels, lead shielding, and

constantly. Others are employed by general contractors or subcontractors in firms such as lath and plastering
or interior systems, or they may be self-employed as sub-contractors. Workers in this occupation are often
unionized, in which case they are hired by employers through the union hiring hall.
The duties associated with this occupation may overlap those of carpenters, sheet metal workers,
and drywall tapers.
