It has nothing to do with sour grapes. A lot of people have got out of unions because of all the BS that takes place in the union. There are good and bad non union jobs and union jobs. Every union company or union job always a few useless employee's that are there because they know someone higher up in the union and firing them the chit would really hit the fan. My buddy was in the boilermakers and got out because the union didn't follow its own rules and made false promises. Another guy I know was in the operating engineers union and could see where it was headed. The people moving up in the union were the sons of the big shots running the union. He said if they ever got into management of the union he and all his friends digging pipeline would quit the union. A few years later all a whole bunch of them quit because that's exactly what happened. In the beginning unions have helped with working conditions but in the last few decades have significantly contributed to loss of jobs and factories moving out of N. America.
As far as unions having apprenticeships, every tradesmen goes through the same apprenticeship whether they work union or not. It's usually a requirement through the local state or province that you have to be either licensed or a registered apprentice to work in your chosen trade. It has absolutely nothing to do with any unions. Unions will often have training facilities available to their members though. As far as skill level it also has nothing to do with being in a union. If you're good at something and apply yourself being in a union doesn't make you better. It can sure make you feel like you're better but in actuality you aren't any better. You're just a union worker. There's always going to be some that are better than you and some that are worse. Some of the most brilliant and successful people in the world never worked in a union and never wanted to.

Today's Featured Article - Grain Threshing in the Early 40's - by Jerry D. Coleman. How many of you can sit there and say that you have plowed with a mule? Well I would say not many, but maybe a few. This story is about the day my Grandfather Brown (true name) decided along with my parents to purchase a new Ford tractor. It wasn't really new except to us. The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule. Now my grandfather had had this mule since the mid 40's and he was getting some age on him. S
