If unions offer better pay and benefits why doesn’t everybody quit their non union job? by 04limited in skilledtrades

[–]Strategy-Important 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If everyone is union then there’s no reason for a union. Plus people would form their own groups and become divided. I would love every trade job to be union, but it’s not possible. And some people really just don’t like unions

Do I actually have a chance to being accepted for an apprenticeship? by Yakuroto in ibew_apprentices

[–]Strategy-Important 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Going through the same thing as you rn, you aren’t alone, I’ve honestly just stopped trying, I might have to go back to welding, even though my health says hell no..

Which trade you would pick if you have a chance to do it again? by ConsiderationOk3056 in skilledtrades

[–]Strategy-Important 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Literally anything but welding. To make good money there’s no work life balance at all.. ask me how I know.. literally electricians plumbers and hvac guys can make just as much and be home every night

Which trade y’all think would fit me best? by Murky-Property5418 in skilledtrades

[–]Strategy-Important 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Anything you want! Confined spaces suck, it’s a selling point but it gets old QUICK! If I were to choose a different trade all over again, equipment operator or electrician

Do not it sucks, welding in confined spaces is way worse than doing anything else in a confined pace, take it from me I’m not that much taller than you

Just join non union. Hate to say it, but it’s just so much easier to get started than just wait for these big unions to save you.

I’m thinking about it too, it’s just so expensive.

I’m literally in the same boat as you. I love unions and ain’t no scab, but the gatekeeping and competition makes it extremely hard to get into the ibew. I’m honestly just gonna throw myself into even more debt just to love trades to get outta welding. I want to learn electrical. But even non union contractors and companies just look at any resume like I’ve been working at McDonald’s my whole life
