Definitely not the case here. Some non union residential pays low, but there's plenty of non union commercial that pays scale or above, with good benefits, opportunity to move up within the company, and no dead spots between jobs.

I've even found a number of VERY good paying residential jobs where skills required are above what the average carpenter can do.
Our local is 99% political. You have to play up to officers. They tell you how to vote, what to think, and who to treat like dirt. Not my cup of tea. I've seen guys who can't tell you which end of a claw hammer to hold and which end to hit a nail with who get favoritism.

Popular phrase amongst union carpenters I used to work with was: "Expand the task at hand to fit the time available". Translation; Take every speck of time allowed no matter how much it bogs down production.
