Wow always a can of worms . I have to post though . I belong to an evil trade union. I served a 5 year apprenticeship over 20 years ago . I live in a prevailing wage state . That wage is set by the average wage by trade being recorded in that area. Public and private projects , in other words what the market will bear . Now that being said its not perfect , maybe it's out dated . We negotiate with our contractors to supply them labor at a certain cost , they pay us our wages in return . We manage our own insurance , training and retirement . We make the same on public or private jobs which are bid by both non and union contractors . We have nothing to do with anyone's taxes period . I will admit I have seen some slugs but by and large they get weeded out . If you don't produce you can't fake it . We do earn higher than average but we don't have paid holidays or uniforms or vacation time . We do have to travel some , but that's our choice . It's been a good 26 or so years for me , built a house , raised three kids , got me back into my farming habit debt free. Anyway hate it or not I encourage young people to seek TRADE unions , no student loans , decent retirement , good education . My two cents , fire away.
