The reason I chose to apply to this specific trade, is because of the opportunities the apprenticeship in plumbing and pipefitting has to offer. A livable wage, a healthy work environment and the training to become a master in the trade are the three of the many qualities I feel the pipefitter plumbers union has to offer.

I strongly believe I have obtained, over several years in the workforce, qualities that are instrumental to becoming a journeyman in the trade. With working in autoCAD and for being a construction inspector for the EADS group I have gained some basic knowledge in how

What would we do without heat and air conditioning? The answer is simple. We would be sweating profusely or freeze to death. However, because of this union, we are all relaxed. We aren’t just relaxed in our cars, we are relaxed in our homes as well. In the winter, I’ve had to wake up several nights to get an extra blanket to pull over me; however, it wasn’t because our…

    American Unions: the Good, the Bad, and the Ugly

    In the early days the union was considered a moral establishment, ensuring that workers worked in safe and equitable environments. In today’s society however, where capitalist endeavors dominate, wages and working conditions are already reasonable for the most part, unions are failing. If one examines critically the purpose of unions, many may find their modus of operation outdated, and their strategies unreasonable for the modern marketplace. More and more American workers and employers are recognizing that the benefits of a union do not outweigh the hassle associated with membership.…

    Over the years, I ended up taking part in such a wide variety of different computer fields, that, today, I can fill an entire page of my resume with just skills from IT industry. All of these skills were extremely helpful and enabled me, to be able to do some incredible things on my own, including the launch of this project, which I am so grateful for. So, now, take this computer knowledge and add fluent multilingual capability in a few, world wide used, languages. Then add the military tactical training, I have received during my last 5 years, while being part of the Special Forces in the U.S Army, and you will have a person who is dependable and full of potential in some technical fields, right? And for what? To continue living a lie, acting that I am a man? And to continue to dreading every day, while putting on the silly 'monkey costume' to go and perform in the job, I have no heart for? No. I am done playing this rat race, our life can easily become as, for all of us. I finally made up my mind to study the art of Cosmetology - something I wanted to do, all of my life.

    Contributions of Labor Unions in Society

    The existence of labor unions has had a substantial contribution to our society and the standard of living of most individuals. However, for the past few decades union membership and influence has declined. There are various explanations for the decline in unionization; one aspect that the explanations have in common is change. Unions have grown into large bureaucracies and at times, have been reluctant to change. Recently there have been signs that unions are changing the way they do business. Labor unions have been beneficial to our society. I will argue that for unions to continue to be beneficial they must strive to receive support from all working individuals, regardless of their occupation or field of employment.…

    Why Would You Join a Union?

    The third reason is that I can get better pay after I join the union. Generally speaking, union jobs pay significantly more than non-union jobs. From top to bottom, industry to industry, region to region, union wages are roughly 15 percent higher than non-union wages. (MACARAY, 2008) According to a January 2011 Bureau of Labor Statistics report, workers who belong to a union typically earn higher pay than non-union workers doing the same kind of job. The median weekly earnings of union workers are 28 percent higher than non-union workers. ("The union advantage")…
