I've been a pipewelder for 14 yrs now and I've been across the country and back several times,I've made a decent living but never had any insurance because you simply don't stay with one contractor. It just doesn't happen,contracts come and go. So my uncle has been on my ass to join our local union for years now...well as usual I was between jobs and said fuck it I'll see what they have to say. I go up there and they're exact words were " your a welder! We are in desperate need of welders!!" So i test,pay dues and off to work I go! I started Nov of 2016,and I'm one happy dude because the pension and insurance is unreal! We'll it wasn't but a few weeks before all benefits kick in and guess fucking what? I'm layed off with no jobs coming up and I'm at home fucking around in the pit! If this shit keeps up I'm going back non union! They have one more week and I have no choice,i have got to go back to work! Fuck em!
