Best Answer

The NYC Sandhogs are part of the LIUNA Tunnel Workers Union 147. The union hall is on Katonah Avenue In the Bronx. First thing is first you cannot become a sandhog without being a Shaper first. Shapers are the people who go into the hole if someone calls out, and from what I hear it doesn't happen a lot. Then after you have been shaping awhile you have to get your book from the union hall then you can call yourself a "Sandhog".
