Give me your experience My husband wants to switch to union for plumbing. I’ve never experienced him being in a union bc…

My brother is a 4th year plumbing and pipe fitting union apprentice. They provide education and training, benefits including vision, dental, pension and life insurance, and each union has their set of bylaws and things they’ve bargained for, like a 4-10s shift or mandatory double time for all OT, more vacation pay, etc. It varies depending on your “local” but most have their bylaws and pay scale posted online. Unions often pay better wages than non union positions doing the same work. When the US had the largest number of union workers vs non union workers we also had the highest median income we’ve ever seen. It’s not a coincidence.

I think each union in each state is different.

Good luck tho!

Well from what he told me it’s $35 an hour minus the $16 benefit package so he would be making $18.31.

The only experience I've had was my ex-husband's food worker union. There was some protection if he was terminated. However, he also had dues to pay.

I hope you get some better info from others!
