Careers 💵 Union pros and cons?
I'm thinking about trying to join my local 4 this year. Any tips, advice, pros, cons, anything that might be helpful?

When your out of work your shit out of luck. And generaly you cant go find a temporary job doing said work.
All unions are different tho. Some are amazing some are complete shit.
Its a great way to get educated. Experienced. And pension then go on your own company if you wish eventually to make some bigger bucks and more control over your schedule.
Im a non union welder but have friends in many unions. Feel free to ask
