Really curious to know if you gain a different amount of knowledge depending on if you work for a union or private. Does anyone have any input?

No, I think it’s the people you work with and the experiences you have. I don’t think being in the union or not has anything to do with it. There’s idiots everywhere, and there’s incredibly knowledgeable people everywhere.

Union has a pretty consistent training program from what I understand, Private companies vary. I've worked a small company where I got the opportunity to run heavy equipment. I'm with a larger company now with a robust apprenticeship training program and I get into much bigger installs, Heavy equipment is subbed out but the electrical experience is MUCH more in-depth.

My bonus this year was patently absurd, so I used a bit on some heat: AMM 3s, Parra Air Max 1, and the black Union 4s. Hate to let the resellers win. But at the same time I worked my ass off and wanted some kicks lmao

I’m a director/DP who has started my own small commercial production company. I’ve mainly been doing direct to client work (while also working as a hired gun for other production companies). I’m non-union currently and the budgets my company has handled go up to $250k. Based out of Los Angeles.

I’m looking to get more work for my company. Wondering if any reps here would like to chat? Thanks!

Currently working as outside sales/service manager for a Union mechanical contractor in metro Detroit. 11 yoe and making $122k with annual sales of $2.4m-$3m yearly. What is everyone making for sales or operational roles?

I currently work at a large research institution and am in the process of getting retroactively reclassified to a new title (Long story but my PI is cheap and routinely pays ppl the bare minimum so now the Union is helping me w/ a retro reclass.) Reclass can take 2 - 6 months to process. Meanwhile, I am interviewing for industry job. If I get an industry job, what do I do if my reclass isn’t processed yet? I want the title and the money owed which may be about $15000- 20000.

While most teachers are protected by teacher unions, I feel my voice hasn’t been heard at all with my concerns of going back to school next week. Our diocese has decided on full return 5 days/ week for all 42 schools despite a recent increase in COVID in our communities. Every other school that I know of in my state is either choosing remote learning to start the year or a hybrid approach, yet that was not an option for us. Are other Catholic schools I. The same boat? Stay safe!

Been with my GF since college and we recently hit the 4 year mark. 1-2 years into our relationship I found out she had instances of micro-cheating (flirting with guys, talking to ex’s etc - but nothing physical) and we addressed it. To her credit and my knowledge, she’s been apologetic and great at respecting boundaries since, but I still feel the pain from her actions years ago (and have talked to her about it). Feeling lost about whether to just leave or to try and work things out
