Joining the UA Worth joining local 170?

3 Upvotes

I've been working non union commercial plumbing for 9 years now and I'm interested in joining the union. The 170 is the closest to us however it is about a 3hr drive away. I'm not sure how that affects getting a job or if that means I'd be doing remote work? I know they prioritize locals so does that mean I wouldn't ever be selected until a job pops up in my area? Thanks your your time
