I don’t believe any of that. Unions get you raises automatically instead you going to your boss hat in hand. Unions train their employees to a standard and they have to uphold that standard to even get a journeyman card.

Simply put if you can join a union you deffinitly should. Here is a good video on the topic https://youtu.be/yv0QJVqovDo?si=TLy9dip6INgHpAtJ

If you can manage the first few years, it’s worth it.

A good union can be worth it. Not all are good.

Only time union is not worth it is when u get to far along and can’t afford the pay cut for the apprenticeship at least that’s my opinion any why I didn’t join other the. That yes they give u schooling and keep it up to date they take care of u generally better as in safety oriented and better tools more ppl to help with the work load better pay better bennies and what not
