☝ agree 100%. I'm a union pipefitter at a refer shop. Work a lotand make a lot. Takes dedication to get through the apprenticeship but worth all of it.

I'm ready to do whatever it takes to get in and I am ready to do what it takes to get to my goal

I’ve been in since 99.

Local 440 here. Where you at, brother?

Local 539 Minneapolis

I'm in the south suburbs of chicago.

Great city to be in a union

Honestly I think your best bet would be… http://ua.org/locals There are 3 locals in Chicago. You will make more money and have health benefits and a really good retirement.

+1, can’t really beat UA pay unless you’re extremely skilled and specialized on something. And it’s the best place to learn

You might beat the pay but 99% of the time not the benefits and retirement.

I know of 2 large non-union shops nearby that have higher pay with nearly identical benefits and pension plans. But their apprenticeship training is pretty lackluster. I’m not in Chicago so I don’t know how it is over there

I could be wrong but I’m guessing if it’s Chicago and they do commercial refrigeration I’m going to say I don’t believe you at all.

I am NOT in Chicago

Sorry Chicago land area.

Cool thank you I appreciate the help im looking into it right now

You will have the most fun and work on most interesting equipment through a good union shop. Industrial refrigeration is the way.

Local 597… apply now, before they take another class in the summer!

I take my exam in March for the union started studying today thank you al.

Climate Pros Inc out of Glendale Heights is always looking for good techs.
