re: Who here is in a union? Do you feel it helps or hurts?

The union I’m in usually goes back to fix non union work. I got a call for a job when I got there was told we had a week left. So I’d if non union start all over. Being in the union I got the next job. It has its benefits. As far as dues, I pay 5% of my check and 43 a month. It’s better than what non union makes in my area. To make money, the option is to go on the road. Either way union makes more from what I’ve experience.
