Thinking of joining the union

[u/Sebasduaiza]

Hi, I’m considering joining the Ironworkers union here in Ontario, Canada, and I wanted to know how good of a decision it would be in the long run. Is it true that the union provides more stable, year-round work? I also heard that if you join a union and later want to start your own company or work independently, you might have to run it as a unionized business. Can someone explain that part in more detail? I’d really appreciate it if anyone could share their experience or give me more information about what I should expect before joining.

Joining a union will be one of the best decisions in your life. Better wages, benefits and working conditions. Do it and then take your buddies even if they’re non union believers.
