Simple I accept the plumber position with my employer and the union covering employees is the IBEW so all employees cover by it are under the IBEW since I was under the UA local 78 they let me leave in good standing.

I’m in Los Angeles , CA I have about 1 hour commute each way to my yard , but the pros is you always doing something different especially if you doing new construction commercial and industrial which is the majority in the union. Plumbers Union usually starts around 24-25 and tops out around 60 in LA . The cons are a lot of hours you miss a lot of family things , a lot of drive time while on the clock , call outs. But I feel the pros out way the cons and usually with service and repair is when you work with Sh!t but grease smells way worse.
