    I was going to send an application but the union is in alameda CA and that city is near Oakland which turns me away from the union. I’ll go to almost any city but Oakland would for sure always be a no from me.

    I'm a qualified sprinkler fitter/inspector, and I would never go union. I like the money I make, the company supplied van, tools, health insurance, and retirement plan.

      I’ll guarantee I made mire money than you as a 3rd year apprentice. It’s funny cause I have everything you have PLUS two pension, all expenses paid, vacation, etc aaaaannnnndddd I make a hell of a lot more than you. So go ahead and hate on unions. You couldn’t hold my chanellocks buddy.

      Honestly once you get the package laid out In front of you, you’d be an idiot to go non-union

      @fitter5423 Před 5 lety +15

      Couldn’t agree with you more buddy. It’s a no brainer especially for the retirement. Guys that are non union they for some reason get this notion that union guys are lazy and always laid off. That’s so far from the truth. Granted there are guys in every union trade that are lazy and are always laid off but those are exceptions. Those are the couple guys that give us a bad name. But like you said once the package is laid out in front of you to see the numbers you’d be an idiot to go non union. The numbers don’t lie. Two paid pensions, wages much higher and that’ll also depend what part of the country your in. Common sense.

    Is a 54 years old male still on time to become an apprentice?

    • @fitter5423
      @fitter5423 Před 5 lety +8

      If you want my honest opinion I’d say yes because you’d have to work at least 15 years to get a vested pension. You’d be 70.
